WindyCitySports 407 Posted August 3, 2011 At this point it sounds like the Lions decided to release Follett. This may not necessarily be a mutual split, but based on Follett's tweets it doesn't sound like he will continue playing football. As nice of a comeback story it would be, his long-term health is more important. Considering another bad hit could put him in a wheelchair for good, the risk just isn't worth it.Source: Pride of Detroit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
