The Detroit Lions have signed former New York Jets tight end Kenny Yeboah to a one-year contract, bolstering their tight end depth as they prepare for the upcoming season. Yeboah, who has recorded nine catches for 111 yards across four seasons, is recognized primarily for his blocking skills. Last season, he made his first career touchdown catch from Aaron Rodgers during Week 11. With the Lions experiencing a lack of depth at tight end, Yeboah's addition brings valuable experience, especially behind standout rookie Sam LaPorta, who had an impressive season, and Brock Wright, the primary blocking tight end.

In addition to Yeboah, the Lions have also strengthened their defense through free agency with the signings of cornerback D.J. Reed, linebacker Grant Stuard, and defensive tackle Roy Lopez. The Lions are keen on improving their roster across both sides of the ball to enhance their competitive edge in the league.
