Lions DE Cliff Avril Clarifies Comments On Potential Tampering

Lions defensive end Cliff Avril today clarified comments he made about potential tampering by other NFL teams in a radio interview according to Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free-Press. Avril, who will become a coveted free agent next month, if the Lions don't sign him to a long-term deal or put the franchise tag on him, he told Sirius radio Thursday that other teams have expressed interest him. No other teams can have contact with Avril until free agency begins March 13. Avril said today that he only meant he has heard compliments about his play through casual conversations. "No other teams, per se, like general managers or anybody has called me or anything like that," Avril told the Free Press. "But I know a lot of guys that I’ve played with or guys that have seen me play have told me that their coaches have brought me up in a sense of, ‘Dang, that guy can play; wouldn’t mind having him-type thing.’ Never official-type things or anything like that." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Avril's comments are only hearsay and do not constitute tampering.
