Bob Quinn took a measured approach to his first foray into free agency as Detroit Lions general manager last year, signing mostly workman types for the back end of the roster and only splurging on one high-priced wide receiver.
While Quinn’s biggest free agent signing didn’t have quite the impact he hoped -- Marvin Jones had a solid year with 930 yards receiving, but his play tailed off considerably over the final 12 weeks -- Quinn said that won’t keep him away from big-ticket items when the league year opens in March.
“I’m not opposed to free agency,” Quinn said in his end-of-season news conference Thursday.
