When the Detroit Lions went on a firing spree last season after a dreadful start everybody wondered who could fix this losing franchise. After building off the Millen tree for years, the Lions finally looked elsewhere. Enter Bob Quinn.
Earlier this week Quinn traded away struggling linebacker Kyle Van Noy for a 6th round draft choice to the Patriots. Though this move may look minor, it’s something that the team hasn’t done well as of recent, admitting to their mistake.
This trade is just another way that Quinn shows he knows what he is doing. Van Noy wasn’t going to do anything for this team, and even though he was a 2nd round pick in 2014, getting something for him was a steal.
