The Detroit Lions said goodbye to one of their defensive stalwarts and one of the NFL’s leading ironmen on Friday, releasing veteran safety Glover Quin in an expected move that frees up $6.25 million in cap space.

Quin started all 96 games in his six seasons with the Lions and was one of the team’s premier defensive players before having a down season in 2018.
