PrintWith Willie Young being signed by the Lions on Monday, the team needed to release someone to make room on the roster for the rookie defensive end. As it turns out, two players were waived by the Lions: kicker Justin Medlock and offensive guard Kurt Quarterman.
Medlock was claimed a couple weeks ago by the Lions. Although some speculated that the move had something to do with Jason Hanson, Jim Schwartz stressed that that wasn't the case. Medlock was originally planning to go to the CFL to play for the Toronto Argonauts before the Lions claimed him, so chances are he will head to Canada if another NFL team doesn't pick him up.
As for Quarterman, he originally came to the Lions as a member of the practice squad last December. He has played for four teams since entering the league in 2007, and now he is once again without a team.

Maybe Lewand has all the contracts done and approved....
and that’s the reason for the drunken stupor….
All speculation of course.
Joo
guessed it!
It’s announced this evening they signed the DT Leger Douzable released by the Rams. This leads me to believe Callaway and maybe even Joe Cohen are going to hit the road soon.
They say some people never go crazy.... what a boring life that must be!!
Glad to hear
that Jason Hanson is all fine and dandy. Had me worried for a bit.
Medlock was brought in because he was a left footed kicker and punter
Schwartz wanted to give his special teams unit an opportunity to get a few reps in because of the different spin on the ball while giving our kicker and punter a bit of a break he served his purpose and we had no further need for him. My guess is the signing of Toone will be announced soon to occupy one of those slots.
