The Detroit Lions aren't done adding.
After agreeing to deals with Danny Amendola, Justin Coleman, and Trey Flowers, the Lions also reached a deal with former Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jesse James, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports, citing a source.
James will receive a four-year contract worth $25 million, including $11 guaranteed, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The Lions are set to lose Luke Willson and Levine Toilolo via free agency, leaving a hole in the team's offensive depth chart.
James spent his first four NFL seasons in Pittsburgh. He played in all 16 games in 2018, hauling in 30 passes for 423 yards and two touchdowns.
