CBS DETROIT - Four defensive tackles who played for the Detroit Lions last season hit free agency Tuesday. The most prominent, Ndamukong Suh, has already signed with the Miami Dolphins, and reports indicate the Lions are no longer pursuing Nick Fairley or C.J. Mosley.
Kyle Meinke of MLive reported Thursday the Lions have not spoken with Mosley, a 10-year veteran who played in 15 games for Detroit last year, since after the season ended.
I'm told the Lions are not currently talking to C.J. Mosley about a return http://t.co/0gb3921Nzg

Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday the team has moved on from Fairley, a first-round pick in 2011 who missed eight games last season because of a knee injury.
The Lions traded for 31-year-old defensive tackle Haloti Ngata of the Baltimore Ravens to help offset the loss of Suh, but they will still need to add at least one more defensive tackle through free agency or the upcoming draft.
