If it’s Tuesday it must mean an active transaction wire, and this week is no exception. The Detroit Lions signed Clay Harbor.

In the corollary move, the team said goodbye to Orson Charles.

Clay Harbor is a seven-year, 6’3” and 253 pound veteran from Missouri State. He most recently played with the New England Patriots, though he has bounced around since 2010.

Harbor spent three years in Philadelphia, the team which drafted him in the fourth round, and three more in Jacksonville. He has been a part-time starter.

His best season came in 2014. Harbor hauled in 26 passes for 289 yards and a touchdown in starting half the year for the Jaguars.
