Robert Porcher

After recently missing a practice, and the announcement that the front office and Robert Porcher will meet today, it appears that a Lions legend and true first class individual will be bidding adieu. It is a reflection of the depth the team possesses in it’s defensive line that they could reduce the playing time of such a strong locker room presence and one of the franchise’s finest players. It doesn’t appear that the relationship will end as gracefully as both parties would have initially liked either. As a Lion fan, I hope that the Lions do the right thing and make a Porcher a member of their organization, if he would be interested. The Lions would be hard pressed to find a better example of a “company man” than Porcher. He very much deserves to retire as member of the organization as opposed to being released and ending the final games of his career with a different team. I will be very disappointed if the Porcher is released and appears against the Lions in two weeks in a Jaguar uniform.
