Detroit Lions - Team Notes

At last, the Detroit Lions have released Stephen Tulloch.

As it turns out, Tulloch wasn’t healthy and thus couldn’t be released without an injury settlement. He underwent arthroscopic ankle surgery earlier this offseason and finally passed a physical Tuesday, which allowed the Lions to cut him without penalty.

Does Stephen Tulloch still have a place in the NFL? With the Lions finally releasing former starting middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch yesterday after informing him much earlier in the offseason that he wasn?t part of their plans for 2016, we?ll soon find out what teams around the league have interest in him. At 31 years old?and coming off surgery on his ankle this offseason?it?s fair to question what he can contribute at this point, but based on his play in 2015, there absolutely is still a place for Tulloch in the NFL.

One of the most underrated linebackers of the PFF era, Tulloch has earned a cumulative overall grade of +46.0 since 2007. He has graded negatively in each of the past two seasons in coverage, but positive grades against the run mean that he can still help a number of teams on early downs. One team that could potentially have interest in Tulloch is Baltimore, who lost veteran linebacker Daryl Smith to Tampa Bay this offseason.

Megatron: If Lions were contenders it would have been harder to leave.
PFT

Retired Calvin Johnson told ESPN E:60 that he took painkillers "every day" during his playing career.
Megatron stated team doctors handed out painkillers "like candy" early in his career, before scaling back as it progressed. "You can’t take Toradol and pain medicine every day, you know. You’ve got to give that stuff a rest, and that was one thing I wasn’t willing to do." Megatron also admitted he had his "fair share" of concussions. Johnson added that he might have put off retirement for another few years if the Lions were more competitive: "If we would’ve been a contender, it would have been harder to let go." Johnson turns 31 in September.
