Detroit Lions training camp preview DT


The same cast returns in 2014. Contracts year for Suh, Nick and Mose. Fairley 5th year option was not picked up and Suh has not signed an extension. Suh will not sign in Detroit. We will be forced to let him go or franchise him in 2015. The Lions should have taken Aaron Donald in the draft.
