Lions waiting to make decisions on veterans

The Detroit Lions have stayed quiet through the first two days of the NFL waiver period, and if new general manager Bob Quinn's old team is any indication, it could be a few more weeks before they make any moves.

Under former general manager Martin Mayhew, the Lions often gave veteran salary cap casualties their release shortly after the Super Bowl, allowing them more time to find work, the New England Patriots typically have waited to make their moves until late February or early March.

In 2014, they released safety Steve Gregory on the final day of February.
