Lions Continue to Add Depth, Sign Versatile DB McQuarters

Earlier this week the Lions signed veteran defensive back R.W. McQuarters. McQuarters will most likely be a nickel corner but he could conceivably push either CB Fernando Bryant or FS Terrence Holt from their starting roles. McQuarters also provides a capable punt returner who could slide into that role if the Lions continue to have difficulties in resigning RS Eddie Drummond. Without a doubt, McQuarter has found himself with strange bedfellows. Mariucci was the head coach of the 49ers when McQuarters was released midseason. It will be interesting to see if their past affects their relationship.

The offseason is starting to perculate. Fantasy Drafts are soon to be held. Grease Paint is being applied…The season is rapidly approaching!
