- Via the Highlight Reel comes the news that Dan Orlovsky wants to return to the Lions in 2009.
One thing Orlovsky hopes to make known to the organization is his feelings. Despite everything that happened this season, he wants to come back to Detroit and turn things around.
I would take Orlovsky over someone like Daunte Culpepper any day based on how last season played out, but we'll have to see if the feeling is mutual and the Lions want Orlovsky back.
"There's two reasons really why I want to go back," the former Shelton High star said. "I want to be part of change, like I was at UConn. I want to be able to be part of something that I can hang my hat on when I'm 50. And I want to play with (receiver) Calvin (Johnson), so we'll see. They have a pretty good idea where my mind is, my heart is, but I haven't said those exact words to them. I'm sure once contract talks get started, I'll have the opportunity to talk to them."People know I want to be back there, but you have to be wanted also. I'm going to do what's best for me and my family and for my career, so a lot of thought will go into it, but I want the opportunity."
