The NFL can be a cold business, and another former Detroit Lions quarterback just got a harsh reminder of that reality. After only a few months with his new team, the ex-Lions passer has been released — cutting short what many hoped would be a second chance at redemption.
The quarterback had joined his new squad in the offseason, eager to prove he could still contribute at the professional level. But with roster changes, depth chart shifts, and midseason injuries forcing adjustments, his opportunity vanished as quickly as it appeared.
It’s a tough blow for a player who once flashed potential in Detroit’s offense. The release highlights just how unforgiving the NFL can be, especially for quarterbacks fighting to stay relevant in a league where patience is short and competition is fierce.
As the season moves forward, it remains to be seen whether another team will take a chance on him. For now, though, his NFL journey hits another unexpected pause — a reminder that in this league, job security is never guaranteed.
