Lions GM Bob Quinn admits his mistake with zero-tolerance policy

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Bob Quinn admitted his misstep.

At his introductory news conference last January, Quinn took a stance on what he considered intolerable behavior.

"The two things that are zero tolerance are domestic violence and dangerous weapons," Quinn said. "Those are the two things I’m not going to stand for, I don’t believe in. That’s how I feel."

Then he signed Andrew Quarless during training camp despite the fact the tight end was arrested in 2015 for publicly firing a gun in the air.

He ended up being suspended two games by the NFL for the incident and was then released by the Lions after the suspension ended.
