Lions thinking bout signing AP... please not for $8 mil
That's not what Quinn said.
“I think AP still has plenty left in the tank,” Quinn said. “We’ll see how it goes.”
Quinn declined to comment whether he’s specifically talked to Peterson’s representation to gauge interest, saying only that the team has kicked the tires on “hundreds of players” and the list of players they’ve called on would be “a mile long.”
Open to it =/= thinking about it. Even if they called to gauge interest, that doesn't mean they're thinking about it. Thinking about it would be bringing him in for a meeting.

$7-8 million in cap space, so they can't afford him unless his price drops anyway.
