... The first name that the Lions were rumored to have had interest in was Michael Turner, who ended up signing with Atlanta.  Although he is now off the market, signing with the Falcons actually has caused Warrick Dunn to ask to become a free agent.  The Lions will likely take a look at Dunn, but it doesn't really sound like he will have very much interest in coming to Detroit. ...
