Dan Orlovsky's time with the Detroit Lions is over for the second time.
The veteran backup quarterback, who was one of the team’s starting quarterbacks during the winless 2008 season, said on SiriusXM Radio on Thursday that the team has told him they will be moving on from him for the 2017 season.
Instead, Orlovsky said, they will go with former Michigan and Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock as the team’s backup.
"Lions let me know they're going in a different direction w/ Jake Rudock as back-up to Matthew." FA QB @danorlovsky7 on @SiriusXMNFL.
