With Heller no longer in Seattle's plans,Greece Euro 2012 Shirts, the Lions signed him Monday. The Seahawks like Owens as a blocking tight end to pair with John Carlson,Portugal Euro 2012 shirts, who led Seattle in receptions last season. Heller has been a dependable backup. He started six games in 2007. Expect Owens and Heller to both serve as backups in 2009. Heller is the fifth of Seattle's unrestricted free agents to sign with another team. He joins a growing contingent of former Seattle players in Detroit. Maurice Morris and Julian Peterson are also there.
