Free-agent wide receiver and former Texas Tech Red Raider Danny Amendola has agreed to a one year contract, worth $4.5 million dollars with the Detroit Lions on Monday, the team announced.

This move allows Amendola to reunite with head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn, both of whom spent time with the New England Patriots while Amendola was there.

The 33-year-old is coming off a year in which he led Miami in both catches (59) and receiving yards (575). He managed just one receiving touchdown, though he did throw a 28-yard touchdown pass as well.
