ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- New head coaches and general managers usually mean change everywhere in the organization -- to the coaching staff, front office and certainly to the roster, as the new regime tries to bring in players who will fit what they are looking for.
Considering the contrasting styles of former general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia and the current regime of GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell, expect to see a high cycle of players turned over the next season-plus.
Some of that already has happened, as the Lions released linebacker Christian Jones and offensive lineman Russell Bodine this week.
