Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola has signed with the Detroit Lions, the team announced Monday.
A source told ESPN's Dianna Russini that the deal is for one year, $4.5 million and could be worth up to $5.75 million.
The Lions need a slot receiver after trading Golden Tate to the Philadelphia Eagles at the trade deadline last year. In their search for a replacement for Tate, the Lions had gone through Bruce Ellington, TJ Jones and Brandon Powell. Of the three, only Powell, an undrafted free agent from Florida last year, is signed by the Lions for 2019.
