Lions' Stephen Tulloch: Not participating in offseason workouts
Tulloch is not participating in offseason workouts as he awaits his release, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis:
Tulloch was told by the Lions in February that he was not a fit in their future plans and would be released, but he has not yet been let go. The 10-year veteran linebacker, who led Detroit in tackles last year, said that he would attend offseason workouts to avoid being fined, but the team agreed to not fine him for missing practices prior to his release. Neither Tulloch nor the team has specified the reason for the delay, but general manager Bob Quinn has indicated it's due to a contractual issue. Whenever Tulloch is released, he'll likely be able to find a role as a backup or two-down linebacker on another team.
