Detroit Lions - Team Notes

[kalinecountry]

Lions GM Bob Quinn said the value was there for LS Jimmy Landes from Baylor. They do evaluation on snappers every year.

Lions GM Bob Quinn again said he expects to be in nickel 70 percent of the time.

Lions GM Bob Quinn denied what Vernon Butler said Thursday, that the club told him they would take him at No. 16: "No one from my staff or our coaching staff has ever promised a player we were going to take him at any position."
