The Lions are set to get an upgrade at the tight end spot once the free agency period starts on Wednesday, as the team is going to ink Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jesse James.
The news comes according to NFL reporter Mike Garafolo, who says that the Lions have a deal in place with James, who over the past four years has 36 starts to his credit for Pittsburgh.
James has been with the Steelers since 2015, and is best known for his touchdown that was brought back at the end of the debacle against the New England Patriots late in the 2017 season.
