The Detroit Lions made their first significant signing in free agency Monday morning, as they inked wide receiver Danny Amendola to a one-year deal worth upwards of $5.75 million, with a reported $4.5 million guaranteed.
It’s not the high-profile signing that maybe some fans were hoping for to replace Golden Tate, who was one of Detroit’s star players over the past few years, but it does make some logical sense. Here are my overall thoughts of the signing.
There’s no question that Amendola fits one of the Lions’ biggest offensive needs as a slot receiver.
