The Facts:
The Lions expect the phones to beginning ringing in the next week or so. There are several teams around the league, most notably the New York Jets and Houston Texans, who are looking for a quality running back and Pinner is available.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Pinner, the team's fourth-round draft pick in 2003, is good enough to be an every-down back but he's getting squeezed off Detroit's roster because they have Kevin Jones as the starter and Arlen Harris and rookie third-round pick Brian Calhoun in backup roles. ... Teams could wait for Pinner to be released in the final cut but that would give him very little time to learn their offense before the first regular season game.
