Josh Reynolds connected enough dots before he hit free agency in March to think the Detroit Lions would be major players for his services.
He spent four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, where new Lions general manager Brad Holmes and his top executive, Ray Agnew, were in the front office, and he caught most of his 113 career passes from new Lions quarterback Jared Goff.
Reynolds said he "liked the Lions" as a landing spot then, but the chance to play in Detroit did not materialize until Wednesday, when the Lions claimed the veteran receiver off waivers from the Tennessee Titans.
