    ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) ? The Detroit Lions agreed to terms on a two-year contract with free agent Shaun McDonald on Monday, strengthening a receiving corps that includes Roy Williams and Mike Furrey.

    In four seasons with St. Louis, McDonald had 106 receptions for 1,215 yards and four touchdowns.

    McDonald will reunite with former Rams coach Mike Martz, Detroit's offensive coordinator.

    The 5-foot-10, 183-pound receiver made just 13 catches for 136 yards and a score last year after two productive seasons for a reserve. He had 46 receptions for 523 yards in 2004 and had three of his 37 catches were for TDs in 2003.

    McDonald was in suburban Detroit last week, shortly after former teammate Kevin Curtis visited with Lions coaches and front-office officials.

    Don't worry Kevin Curtis fans, the Lions still want to sign him, too. Mike Martz is just getting the Rams band back together.

    All I have to go say about the McDonald signing is; would you like fries with that?

    As for KC, he should sign with his boyhood fave... the Miami Dolphins.
