Tracking former Lions

[DanO]

^ Me either.

I feel as if we need to limit the definition to someone who at least played a down in a preseason game.

Well, he was under contract for the Lions. So, he is a former Lion. No sliding bar here.

Anyone interested in Aaron Gibson?

Deadspin-

What?s your favorite Dan Orlovsky highlight?

I have 2 highlights of Dan Orlovsky. Each revolves around the headlines of when he wasn't resigned and went somewhere else.

I hope he never rejoins the Lions before being enshrined into the HoF

Wow.. I actually couldn't finish reading that. I never realized how much having kids impact out lives until I had one of my own. I don't understand how some parents just neglect their kids like that. Its f'ing terrible.

Nice read on Gibson. Thanks for posting it.

Ha!

Bobby Layne was such a good QB, he used to kick his own extra points.

This highlight reel is pretty cool.

One thing was sure. He had a lot of different targets that could hold on to the ball.

In that day and age, if you didn't catch a catchable ball there was no telling the repercussions. That and you still had to worry about putting food on the table after that......

Bengals RB Corey Dillon once combined with QBs Akili Smith and Scott Mitchell for one of the most ridiculous box scores ever.

That was a preseason game

That was a preseason game

22 carries in a preseason game? That doesn't seem likely. But I can't find any info on the date the game was played, so maybe.

EDIT: Nope. Regular season game. October 22, 2000.

Didn't even consider it was game where Mitchell wasn't Detroits QB.

Good article! I have often wondered what happened to him.

Brandon Beane says things “at a stall” with Anquan Boldin

Bills coach Sean McDermott offered an update on rookie wide receiver Zay Jones this week and said Jones has “had a nice camp” while learning to play both inside and outside in the Buffalo offense.

That versatility should help Jones earn playing time in his first NFL campaign whether the Bills add veteran help to the receiver group or not, but the team could still benefit from some additional help for Jones and Sammy Watkins at wideout. They met with veteran Anquan Boldin in late July, but no deal was struck and General Manager Brandon Beane said that the ball remains in Boldin’s court when it comes to what he wants to do this year.

“It’s kind of at a stall is probably the best way I can put it,” Beane said during an appearance with “Howard and Jeremy” on WGR 550. “Anquan is at a time in his life where I think family is very important. That’s what I’ve drawn from this. His family is down in Florida. I’m not sure where he’s at with that. He’s got to be all in and that’s where we left it. If he’s not, we’ll let him make that decision when he’s ready.”

Beane said he didn’t have a date in mind when the team would move on from the possibility of adding Boldin, although he did concede that sooner is better than later in terms of integrating him into the team. For now, though, Boldin isn’t with the team and the Bills will have to work on getting the receivers that are into form.
