New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill (Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports)
The Detroit Lions parted ways with tight end Jesse James this past week following two underwhelming seasons in the Motor City. It didn’t take the new regime in Detroit very long to find his replacement.
On Saturday, the Lions signed former New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill to a one-year deal. The soon-to-be 31-year old Hill spent his entire eight-year career with the Saints prior to being released earlier this month.
The connection between Hill and the new regime in Detroit is crystal clear.
