The Detroit Lions announced Tuesday that they’ve signed WR Tommylee Lewis to a contract.
The Lions brought Lewis in for a visit last week and he reportedly had some interest from the Jets as well. However, it looks like the Lions proved to be his best option.
Lewis, 26, wound up signing on with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Northern Illinois back in 2016. He was in the final year of his three-year, $1.62 million contract and made a base salary of $630,000 for the 2018 season.
Lewis was not tendered by the Saints as a restricted free agent.
In 2018, Lewis appeared in seven games for the Saints and caught three passes for 60 yards receiving and one touchdown. He also rushed twice for 10 yards and totaled 69 kick return yards.
