Packers free agent defensive tackle Quinton Dial will visit the Lions and Seahawks, according to Tom Silverstein of the Journal Sentinel (on Twitter). Dial, as Silverstein notes, was a positive locker room presence in Green Bay after coming over from the 49ers.
It’s not clear if the Packers are still in the mix to keep Dial, but they think highly of him. When signing him last year, the Packers paid him one dollar more than the veteran’s minimum ($775,001), which left open the possibility of extending him in-season. They didn’t do that, however, allowing him to explore the open market.
Dial, 28 in July, appeared in 13 games with two starts for the Packers last season. He totaled 19 tackles.
Why are the Lions only interested in small time role players, while the impact players are going to other teams. So frustrating!!!!
It’s the Patriot way.
Yah this is crap. Lions got money to spend and signing no namers is not gonna help us in the North with the 2 other teams absolutely loading up and the Bears making moves. Even if we sign Blount we still get an F grade. Gore 10 years ago maybe not now. I was hoping for a big splash not a fast sinking.
