Lions notes: Is Brandon Pettigrew's spot on the roster safe?

• Bleacher Report made a list containing the best player that could get cut for each NFL team. For the Detroit Lions, they make the case that Brandon Pettigrew's time in Detroit could be over and there could be an injury settlement made.

• Pro Football Focus is backpedaling faster than Darius Slay. Their new list consists of 10 players that are poised to make their first appearance on their Top 101 players list next year. Ezekiel Ansah is listed as No. 1 and Golden Tate also makes an appearance at No. 7 on the list.

• General manager Bob Quinn is specifically looking for players that can play multiple positions effectively.

"And like I said at the beginning, when we have to dress 46 players, the more versatile the guys are, the better chance they’re going to be on the team." - Quinn

• Lions beat writer, Mike O'Hara, took a closer look at the impact made by a change of offensive coordinators for the Lions over the past 20 or so years.

History shows carryover benefit of Lions' 2015 mid-season O-coordinator change. Wayne Fontes did it best in 1993. https://t.co/G6WIOQ0mmp
