BOCA RATON, Fla. -- The Detroit Lions are looking for a trading partner for Stephen Tulloch, but if they can't find a new home for the veteran linebacker, they're still expected to release him this spring.
Lions general manager Bob Quinn declined to shed more light on Tulloch's future and why he remains on the roster during a 14-minute interview with beat writers at the NFL's annual spring meetings today, other than to say, "It's a contractual issue."
But a person familiar with the Lions' thinking said Tulloch is not currently in the team's plans for the fall.
