Stephen Tulloch’s time in Detroit is over. This was one of his strangest moments for the Lions when he injured himself dancing after a sack.

Moments ago, Stephen Tulloch the starting linebacker just posted his goodbyes on his Instagram account.

Tulloch was due $6M this fall, including a $500k bonus. Still will count $1.3M against the Lions salary cap

Tulloch has been a very solid player for the Lions, but it sounds like he is being released.

He played college football at North Carolina State, and was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Tulloch could be a very solid pick up for some team.

What a journey it’s been Detroit! Five years of some of the greatest memories of my career. I can’t put into words how grateful I am to have played for such a great organization. I want thank the Ford family the front office the strength coaches, trainers, equipment staff and everybody in between for everything you have done for me over the years. Last but not least I want to thank the community of Detroit for being behind me and my foundation over the years in making a difference in many lives. Such as life there is constant change. But change that I’m looking forward to. As one chapter closes in my career another one opens up.#Detroit#MuchLoveAndRespect#Operation55
