Darby, Wyms on the Road

Defensive tackle Chuck Darby is visiting the Lions today. He has a couple of other free-agent visits lined up this week, but that’s only if he gets out of Detroit. Sounds like the Lions might not want him leaving the building without a contract.

Ellis Wyms will take a look at Minnesota and then Tennessee though not necessarily in that order.

The line of communication remains open between the Seahawks and both players so a return to the Seahawks has not been ruled out in either case.

Lions Insider Tom Kowalski said on a Michigan radio station that Chuck Darby is the most likely defensive lineman to sign with Detroit. He has a good relationship with Rod Marinelli, who he credits with developing him as a player. Here is the link.

If Darby left, that would be four of 11 unrestricted free agents who have left for other teams. Marcus Pollard, Jeff Robinson and Josh Scobey will not be back, leaving D.J. Hackett, Ben Joppru, Floyd Womack and Ellis Wyms unresolved
