Rams sign Tony Fisher

[RamsFan16]

On FSN Midwest they mentioned that the Rams signed RB Tony Fisher (Packers)

[RealRam]

Hmm. I know T. Fisher is -- or was -- a 3rd down kind of player. Good size at 6-2, 225. :football:

Building depth. Let's see what happens with Cason. // Thanks, 16.

Na your thinking of Najeh Davenport. In 2004 on ABC in Green Bay he had 19 carries for 178 yards and 1 touchdown with a 40 yard long.

You're right, MoonJoe!


Fisher's 2005 stats / NFL-CBS sports (BTW, he's 6-1, not 6-2; seems to be a good receiver):

GP Att Yds Avg TDs Fum

Player News

Tony Fisher recorded 48 receptions, 520 all-purpose yards and two total TDs in 14 games (four starts) this season in Green Bay. He missed some time due to injured ribs and lost carries to Samkon Gado.

Fantasy Analysis

Fisher is a free agent and could land with another team next season, so his value is in question. He's not expected to land a featured role, however, so Fisher will be no better than a late-round selection.

Good short-yardage back. Good size, good strength. Not a burner, but will break some tackles. Pretty solid depth signing.

Rams | Team lands T. Fisher

Bob McGinn, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports free agent RB Tony Fisher (Packers) has agreed to a one-year contract with the St. Louis Rams. The contract is not for much more than minimum salary and contained a modest signing bonus.

Wow he was very cheap. I love the signing even more now.

Hopefully the Rams add one more Ex-Packer ... His name is Grady Jackson!

True dat man.

[TheBritishRam]

You reckon he could compete with Faulk for the backup spot (if Faulk does comeback)?

Faulk won't be a 3rd Down back. It will be.

1. Steven Jackson
2. Marshall Faulk
3. Tony Fisher
