James, turning 29 in a couple of days, spent 2022 with the Cleveland Browns. However, he appeared in just two games, playing 18 offensive snaps and failing to catch a pass.
Pittsburgh drafted James out of Penn State in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. In four years with the team, he recorded 120 receptions for 1189 yards and nine touchdowns, robbed of a tenth by the referees.
