The Detroit Lions kicked off free agency in 2019 with a move that didn’t exactly get people too excited. After trading away Golden Tate in 2018, the Lions replaced him by signing veteran Danny Amendola to a one-year deal worth $4.5 million guaranteed.
Many, myself included, weren’t too thrilled with the move. I gave it a C+ grade at the time, commenters were a little more kind, averaging around a B- grade.
But by the season’s end, Amendola had done enough to change several fans’ opinions of him. Now heading into free agency again, the Lions face an interesting decision with Amendola.
