The Detroit Lions have added some wide receiver depth.

Chaz Schilens, who was among the players Detroit was slated to work out this week, signed a one-year contract today, according to the team's website.

Schilens is a five-year NFL veteran with 100 career catches. He spent last season with the New York Jets, finishing with 28 catches for 289 yards.

He spent his first four seasons with the Oakland Raiders, playing just eight games in 2009 and five games in 2010.

The Lions had a roster spot available after releasing running back Jahvid Best.

Detroit also reportedly worked out wide receivers Steve Breaston and Terrell Sinkfield.
