Tulloch, 31, led Detroit with 107 tackles last season. But
the Lions signed Tamir Whitehead during the free agency period
to become the new starting middle linebacker.
"As I have said numerous times since I became head coach of the
Lions, Stephen Tulloch has been a consummate professional on and
off the field," coach Jim Caldwell said in a statement. "We
thank him for his contributions to the Lions and the Detroit
community and wish him the very best in all his future
endeavors."
Tulloch joined the Lions in 2011 and started 67 games for the
team. In 147 NFL games, he has 913 tackles, 14.5 sacks and five
interceptions.
