It took a little over four months, but Bob Quinn has made his first trade as Detroit Lions general manager. In trading a seventh-rounder for linebacker Jon Bostic, he made a move for a player he knows well and a franchise he has intimate knowledge of.
It shouldn’t be surprising Quinn made his first move with the franchise he’s most familiar with -- the New England Patriots. Much of what Quinn has done during his first few months as Detroit’s general manager has mirrored what he learned from his 16 years working his way up with the Patriots.
