Tia signs for 1 year: $1.5M, $750K signing bonus.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&am p;id=1756040
What are other teams thinking? This guy is a good player. WIth some many teams looking for another wr, why not for so little? SF made a big mistake IMO.
PHI-#1 T.O. SCREWS yet another SF teammate. He is better than any WR on the team at present
MIA- #2 a great fit, big and solid routes, a great compliment to Chambers
JAX- #2 would be #1 by years end when Jimmy calls it quits
CHI- #2 better than any #2 they have now-Gross is not proven though
MINNY-he is better/healthier than Robinson, plus has played in similar offense. Could have been the next Jake Reed
KC- again better than ANY wr on thier team
I think he wants to try again next year. I hope his contract has incentives. Great pickup for DET!

I am going to have to disagree with your analysis. He was a decent signing. Streets is a clear #2 receiver. I do not think he would be #1 on Eagles. Nor I do not think he would be #1 on Jax.
Why do I disagree? He has NEVER had a 100+ yards. NEVER. He does have 12 TDs over the past two years. I just don't think a guy who has NEVER had a 100 yard game can be deemed a #1.

Anyways please move it to where it blong...DET offseason area.
You are correct DD.  He doesn't have a 100YD game in his entire career. I guess i like the guy too much. I felt he was always held back becasue of Owens. I was wrong. I still think Jimmy Smith is on his way out of the #1 role in JAX as soon as they get good young WR. Nobody can disagree that they need one.
I still don't think that Pinkston is better, could be wrong.

actually, he is probably as good as Pinkston. That says how crappy the Eagles are!!
I do agree that it is a good signing for Detroit. I think he will be a good fit there. With that being said, I don't see him being a #1 guy. He had some opportunities last year but never stepped up........
I guess that is what is so great about fantasy football, we are having a conversation about Streets and we agree to disagree.

Yeah, as soon as they signed Stephen Alexander last week, they gave Ricks permission to seek a trade. Since no one was biting, they just let him go. Apparently Mooch is pretty happy with Alexander (if he can stay healthy) and Casey Fitzsimmons.

As if this is any surprise...
Lions To Have RBBC
http://www.detnews.com
Quote:| ...Until someone takes command of the position, Coach Steve Mariucci will have a tailback-by-committee approach, with the emphasis on new players. Rookie Kevin Jones, a first-round draft pick from Virginia Tech, and second-year back Artose Pinner figure prominently in 2004. Shawn Bryson, who started 13 games last year and led the team with 606 yards, will provide veteran depth. Olandis Gary also will compete for a roster spot. |

Looks like Kevin Jones was signed today to a 5 year deal so he will be on time at training camp.
