On Tuesday night, news broke that the New York Jets were releasing running back Le’Veon Bell. Since that moment, there have been Detroit Lions fans who have suggested Bob Quinn bring Bell back home to Michigan.
Now, everybody has a right to their opinion, but if you are one of those people who want Bell in a Lions uniform, you are either related to him or have lost your mind.

Well, another player just became available as LB Kamalei Correa of the Tennessee Titans has requested a trade after being a healthy scratch on Tuesday night against the Buffalo Bills.
#Titans veteran LB Kamalei Correa has requested a trade after being inactive last night, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. Correa has played 39 snaps on defense this season and wants to get an opportunity elsewhere. Team has obliged and will release him if they can't trade him.

Correa, who is still just 26 years old, was originally selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2nd round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Now, don’t get me wrong, Correa is not one of the top linebackers in the NFL (if he was, he would not be in this situation), but I believe (and have believed since he was in college) that he can be a productive player in the league.
The Lions are in need of solid linebackers and Bob Quinn should already be on the phone with the Titans to see what the price tag is for a player who they will either trade or cut prior to the 2020 NFL Trade deadline.
Nation, I may be a little too excited but Correa is a player I wanted the Lions to draft and I would love to see if he can work things out in Detroit. Would you like to see Correa in a Lions uniform?
