    Cliff Avril refused to lash out at the Detroit Lions after both sides ended negotiations on a multiyear contract.

    "I'm not mad," Avril said in an interview with The Associated Press about 40 minutes before Monday's 4 p.m. ET deadline to get a long-term deal done. "Business is business. You can't take it personal."

    Avril will stay in Detroit as a franchise-tagged defensive end for at least one more season with a $10.6 million contract.
