One of the cruelest parts of the business side of the NFL is that when a significant player gets traded away, there is no exit press conference or media session. The player is there one day, and he’s gone the next. His locker room is cleaned out, and his name plate is either replaced or just removed altogether.
That will be the stark reality for the Detroit Lions on Wednesday as the team attempts to move forward without Quandre Diggs, who was shipped to the Seahawks in a trade that netted Detroit just a fifth-round pick for the price of Diggs and a seventh rounder.
