(WXYZ) — The Detroit Lions are reportedly looking to get rid of linebacker Devon Kennard, who is a team captain.
NFL Network Reporter Mike Garafolo said the team was releasing Kennard, but that was followed up by a report from Ian Rapoport, who said the team was in conversations to trade Kennard.
"He'll be on the move, but it could be in a trade," Rapoport said.

Kennard signed as a free agent with Detroit in 2018. The 28-year-old played in 31 of 31 games in his two seasons with Detroit, which included seven sacks in back-to-back seasons, as well as 104 tackles, 29 quarterback hits, an interception and three fumble recoveries.
On Twitter, Kennard said there was "no loyalty in this biz."
You ain’t lying! No loyalty in this biz!
