ALLEN PARK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Detroit Lions are parting ways with linebacker Jamie Collins.
Detroit released Collins on Tuesday after the team explored trade options for the nine-year veteran. Collins is now free to sign with another team and will still make the full $8.8 million he was owed from the Lions.
The linebacker recorded 10 tackles and had a fumble recovery through Detroit’s first two games, but stopped reporting to practice ahead of week three.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Collins and the team were “just in a different place” on his role.
