Lions sign Andre Roberts to one-year deal
The Detroit Lions signed wide receiver Andre Roberts, formerly of Washington, to a one-year contract.
What It Means:
This was likely prompted by Corey Fuller's foot surgery and Corey Washington's injury release. Roberts previously visited the Buffalo Bills and New Orleans Saints. He has been productive on special teams, returning a kick 99 yards for a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers last season. Offensively, however, Roberts was a non-factor in Washington last year. Still, the 28-year-old gives Detroit some depth behind starters Golden Tate and Marvin Jones.
Roberts caught just 11 passes for 135 yards in nine contests in 2015, for a Reception Net Expected Points per target of 0.43.
