I just read the same thing... Lions | McCown signed to two-year contract Thu, 16 Mar 2006 09:37:51 -0800 Len Pasquarelli, of ESPN.com, reports the Detroit Lions have signed free agent QB Josh McCown (Cardinals) to a two-year contract worth $6 million. The deal will pay him $4 million in 2006 between his signing bonus and base salary. I'm surprised because he has stated he wants to start, which may prove difficult with the recent Kitna signing....
