Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Lions are signing TE Luke Willson to a one-year contract worth $2.5 million on Wednesday.
Willson also visited with the Panthers and Jaguars, but it appears as though the Lions wound up being his best fit in the end.
Willson, 28, is a former fifth-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2013. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2,338,532 rookie contract with the Seahawks and re-signed to a one-year contract last offseason.
In 2017, Willson appeared in 16 games for the Seahawks and caught 15 passes for 153 yards receiving and four touchdowns. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 43 tight end out of 71 qualifying players
