Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn continues to overhaul the team's front office.
On Thursday, he fired vice president of pro personnel Sheldon White, who had been the team's interim general manager the second half of the 2015 season. He also interviewed for the job on a permanent basis and was always considered a candidate for the job, but the Lions hired Quinn instead.
White's firing was first reported by MLive.
White had been with the Lions for 19 seasons and was the vice president of pro personnel since 2009. He worked his way up from being a BLESTO-area scout when he was hired in 1997 to the role he held until Thursday.
