Byrd, Turner ink free-agent deals

April 29, 2007

University of New Mexico kicker Kenny Byrd landed a three-year free-agent contract with the Detroit Lions and fellow Lobo offensive lineman Robert Turner reached an agreement with the Dallas Cowboys. The terms of Turner's deal are not being disclosed.

Byrd said he still has the option to go with another team if a better offer comes along in the next few days, but he is elated to be with the Lions.

"I''m so excited about it," he said. "It's pretty unbelievable to be able to say, `I'm a Detroit Lion.'"

UPDATE: Here's a link to the story about Byrd and Turner I posted on the Tribune's Web site.
