The Lions have released cornerback Quinton Dunbar, per a club announcement. In a related move, they’ve added running back Craig Reynolds to the 90-man roster. 
Dunbar joined the Lions in April on a one-year contract. However, it was a veteran salary benefit deal with a modest signing bonus of just $137.5K, so the Lions won’t be on the hook for much.
Dunbar — once entangled in a bizarre legal situation with friend Deandre Baker — was traded from Washington to Seattle last year. Injuries cut his season short, but the Seahawks and Cardinals still showed interest in him as a free agent. The young corner was set to join forces with Jeff Okudah, helping to replace Desmond Trufant and Justin Coleman. Now, Dunbar could now wind up on his fourth team in three years.
Dunbar broke through in 2019, rating as one of Pro Football Focus’ top corners and nabbing four interceptions. He held opposing quarterbacks to a 61.2 passer rating that year, but saw just six games in 2020 thanks to knee surgery.
To date, the ex-UF Gator has 31 starts to his credit across six seasons.
QD’s stock has sunk faster than the Titanic
Getting cut by the Lions is not something you want on your resume
I don’t think a resume even matters if you have the right connections. Look at Tebow. Nothing on his resume in recent years but he was a favorite of Urban so he’ll get a roster spot. Patricia was a disaster in Detroit but because of his connection to BB he gets hired back in New England as a consultant.
QD was incredible before the WFT traded him, what happened to him
-> saints
No, I would think that Dan Campbell has too much respect for ex-boss Payton and Dennis Allen to not give them the 411 on Dunbar. I could be wrong, but I just don’t see it.
Jets should take a chance. Any talent would be helpful.
The Si Jets should definitely take a chance.
What a complete idiot. He’s lucky he’s not in prison and instead of being smart with his second chance he keeps being an idiot and gets cut by the Lions of all teams.
