The Lions continue to bring in former New England Patriot players under the direction of general manager Bob Quinn, a former Patriot guy.
Today the team signed tight end Clay Harbor according to ESPN’s Adam Caplan as the team continues to court depth at the position.
#Lions, in need of veteran depth at TE, agreed to contract terms Clay Harbor, source said.

Harbor became the odd man out in New England with the returns of Tom Brady and defensive lineman Rob Ninkovich. Last season Pro Football Focus graded Harbor out at a 61.1 which lumped him in as a below average tight end according to the website. That number seemed to transition to what he ended up mustering on the field which was 25 snaps on offense and 39 on special teams.
Either way Bob Quinn is trying to add some quality depth to the team or attempting some crude, frankenstein version of the Patriots.
