Glover Quin was so sure that his time in Detroit was coming to an end after the Lions hired Matt Patricia that the Pro Bowl safety said in a new podcast that he actually tried to get the team to release him last offseason.

"I actually tried to get out of my contract going into the season," Quin said in an episode of The Pride Podcast posted Thursday.
