Lions | Bollinger signed Tue Sep 1, 02:20 PM
Tim Twentyman, of The Detroit News, reports the Detroit Lions have signed free-agent QB Brooks Bollinger (Cowboys). Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: If Bollinger impresses in practice he could stick around as the third QB in Detroit, as Drew Stanton is injured. |

Lions | Work out three QBs Tuesday Tue Jul 28, 05:48 PM
Tom Kowalski, of MLive.com, reports the Detroit Lions worked out unrestricted free-agent QBs Cleo Lemon (Jaguars), Craig Nall (Texans) and Brooks Bollinger (Cowboys) Tuesday, July 28, according to a league source.
Footballguys view: The Lions must be looking for camp arms here. None of the players listed could really be considered a threat to third string QB Drew Stanton's job. |

UFL | Bollinger considering joining league Wed Jul 22, 02:15 AM
Judd Zulgad, of The Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports free-agent QB Brooks Bollinger (Cowboys) is considering joining the UFL. He was selected by the Orlando franchise last month and is giving consideration to playing in the four-team league. Bollinger said he has spoken with Orlando head coach Jim Haslett and is leaving his options open. Bollinger added he has spoken with a couple of NFL franchises, but admits the thought of bouncing around the league gets more difficult as he becomes older.
Footballguys view: Bollinger cited the two-week training camp and eight-week season as one of the main reasons he is looking into the league, because he has two kids. We like the idea of the UFL serving as a minor league for the NFL, keeping players fresh and ready for action when the NFL calls during the regular season. |

Footballguys view: There will be a Tommy Maddox-like story to come out of the UFL, but none of the players on this list really stand out. |
