NFL: Lions trade WR Curry to Rams for DT Harris


Associated Press

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions have traded wide receiver Ronald Curry to the St. Louis Rams for defensive tackle Orien Harris.

The deal Friday marks the second time each player has changed teams in recent months.
Curry was signed by Detroit as a free agent in April after he was released by Oakland, where he spent his first seven NFL seasons. Harris was traded to St. Louis by Cincinnati on May 6 after appearing in 14 games for the Bengals last season, his third in the NFL.
Curry has 193 career catches and 13 touchdowns, and could start immediately for the Rams.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Harris has 14 career tackles since being drafted in the fourth round by Pittsburgh in 2006. He has also spent time with Cleveland, Buffalo and New Orleans.
