It appears the Detroit Lions have addressed their hole at tight end in a busy free agency day.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the Lions have agreed to sign former Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jesse James.
The 24-year-old was a 2015 fifth-round draft pick out of Penn State by the Steelers. James had 30 catches for 423 yards and two touchdowns last season.
James was at the crux of a replay controversy back in 2017, when he appeared to make the game-winning touchdown catch against the Patriots in a late-season game. But according to the rules at the time, James didn't maintain possession of the ball after hitting the ground and the pass was ruled incomplete.
