Lions have no regrets on declining Nick Fairley's option

[RS12]

When he started the season with a productive first two months and slimmer waistline, Nick Fairley looked like he might make the Detroit Lions regret their decision not to pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract.

When he finished it by missing nine straight games with a knee injury, Fairley validated some of the Lions' deepest concerns.

Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said he has no regrets about declining Fairley's option even though the team's top four defensive tackles are ticketed for unrestricted free agency in March.

I know it's been awhile, but was he removed from our draft board? I seem to think I heard that during that draft year.

Can't have the label of being lazy as a DL
I don't want him
