Over the past six years, there aren’t a lot of defensive players who made as much of an impact for the Detroit Lions as safety Glover Quin has. Even though the Lions cut the former Pro Bowler earlier this week, it’s clear that Quin was a consistent contributor on a rather inconsistent defense, who has also taught the young safeties around him the right way to play the game.
While the team did cut Quin to save $6.25 million in salary cap room, his impact for this team on the field and in the locker room far exceeds that number.
