The Lions have informed Stephen Tulloch that he’ll be released at the start of the league year, a source tells PFT (on Twitter). The linebacker took to Instagram minutes ago with a message for Detroit fans, seemingly confirming the news. “What a journey it’s been Detroit!,” Tulloch wrote. “Five years of some of the greatest memories of my career. I can’t put into words how grateful I am to have played for such a great organization. I want thank the Ford family, the front office, the strength coaches, trainers, equipment staff, and everybody in between for everything you have done for me over the years. Last but not least I want to thank the community of Detroit for being behind me and my foundation over the years in making a difference in many lives. Such as life there is constant change. But change that I’m looking forward to. As one chapter closes in my career another one opens up.” - See more at: http://www.profootballrumors.com/detroit-lions-release-stephen-tulloch/
