CBS DETROIT - The Detroit Lions re-signed backup quarterback Dan Orlovsky on Monday, the same day they announced they would not be using the franchise tag to restrict the movement of All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
The move to retain Orlovsky was hardly a monumental one, but Orlovsky made it a bit more memorable with a hilarious tweet in which he expressed excitement about his return.
Even though I was furious they chose not to Franchise Tag me, I'm stoked to re-sign with the Lions for another season! #onepride
