If all things went as planned in early September, Brad Kaaya would have never left the Detroit Lions. Sure, the team decided to waive their sixth-round draft pick in their cut down to a 53-man roster, but the choice was not easy for general manager Bob Quinn.
“When it came down to it, it was probably our hardest decision we made coming out of training camp,” Quinn said after the roster cutdown.
The Lions were reportedly planning on bringing Kaaya back to the roster on the practice squad, but the Carolina Panthers claimed him off waivers before they could.
