Could turn out to be a good pickup for the Lions, as long as Matt Millen doesn't do something stupid with the rest of the team. All they need now is a QB.

This is a good move. I do doubt Millen had anything to do with though.

lol, millen has been screwing up so long, people only give him credit for the bad moves now. how does millen stay employed?

as for rudi, hope he has a solid rebound year. probably won't, but i've got my fingers crossed for him.

Rudi is a good guy too...never in any trouble...hope he can turn it around.

Prove it!

I would welcome a change of scenery from the Bengals ,but to be signed by the Lions this guys a glutton for punishment.I wish him well though.When he's playing well he's fun to watch.Good Luck with that O-Line though.

could have been worse for rudi, the packers could have claimed rudi. sticking him in the middle of their transitional mess coming this season.

lol....true that ...but the Lions o-line isn't really made for run blocking.

Apparently, Tatum Bell stole all of Johnsons stuff:

I don't know if this story is true, but it sure is funny...

Good luck Rudy, I hope Detroit is good to you..

I hope that McMillian can teach him that can be a very big task...

Rudi played soft but now is out to proof he can play.. look for him to play through issues that he would have sit out for last year.. it will be a great pick up and big year for him.. watch and see.. as long as you offer him short term money.. he wil step up.

I can't believe they are letting Tatum Bell go, after he just had the longest carry of his career, when he stole Rudi Johnson's bags and carried them to some chicks house.

is it me, or do the Bengals get more theads than any other team. T & R must be a Cincy fan

rudi is done

MATTUSA - you should have been here after the Super Bowl and during Spygate.

i agree antonio. he is having problems with a hamstring injury. he was having the same problems last year, except it was hit other hamstring.

the lions did a good job not trading for him, gotta give them some credit there.......

If he can come in and split carries with the rookie, it will be fine.

Could be a good move for the Lions if Rudi can find his way back to being a productive back. The Lions should look to improve their front office first though.

Matt Millen please stay with the Lions forever....
