Fri, 08 Mar 2013 08:23:03 -0800 Detroit Lions impending free-agent DE Cliff Avril said he would be interested playing linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. "I think I can do it," Avril said. "I thought I was going to be a 3-4 coming out, obviously. I ended up getting drafted to the Lions at the defensive end position. The weird thing is all the guys out of Purdue from the last few drafts who played end became 3-4 ends. I'm the only one out of all of those guys who played linebacker and became a defensive end. Maybe I'll join that club, if it's the case."

Tue, 05 Mar 2013 06:48:11 -0800 Free-agent DL Cliff Avril (Lions) said there has only been minimal chatter with his agent and the Detroit Lions about a new deal.
Wed, 27 Feb 2013 17:43:40 -0800 The Detroit Lions have the No. 5 overall pick in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, and while Alabama CB Dee Milliner is the popular pick in various mock drafts, the team could also look to Brigham Young DE Ezekiel Ansah or Oregon DE Dion Jordan if they are unable to re-sign impending free-agent DE Cliff Avril. Florida State DE Bjoern Werner also could be a potential fit.
Wed, 27 Feb 2013 17:43:13 -0800 Free-agent DE Dwight Freeney (Colts) would be a fit for the Detroit Lions, if they are unable to re-sign impending free-agent DE Cliff Avril. However, he is 33 and wants to play for a contender, and whoever signs him will be seeking his replacement again in two years.
Tue, 19 Feb 2013 10:09:43 -0800 Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew once again reiterated that he has no plans to use the franchise tag on any of the team's players this offseason. Last year, the team placed the tag on DE Cliff Avril, but they would have to spend $12.7 million if they wanted to tag him again this season. S Louis Delmas (knees) would have been a candidate for the tag had he not injured both of his knees in the last two years. Detroit wants to re-sign Delmas, but to a short-term deal for less than the $6.8 million tag for safeties. The pool of free-agent safeties may be thin this year because of the cheap price to franchise them, and the Lions need to sign two safeties this offseason, which could drive up Delmas' price on the open market. DE Michael Johnson is a candidate for the franchise tag, too.
Sat, 16 Feb 2013 12:06:41 -0800 Detroit Lions impending free-agent DE Cliff Avril said he would like to get a deal similar to the six-year, $100 million contract Buffalo Bills DE Mario Williams received. "Anything is possible," Avril said. "I would love to get Mario's deal. Who wouldn't? Those are some great numbers. My thing is I want to keep getting better. I'm still young. I'm only 26 years old. The sky is the limit as far as that. Those are some great numbers, hopefully we can get somewhere near there."
Thu, 14 Feb 2013 05:03:06 -0800 Detroit Lions impending free-agent DE Cliff Avril would like to re-sign with the team, but likely not for a hometown discount. "I don't know. It depends on the situation, honestly," Avril said. "It depends on why I would be taking less money, first off. I don't know, but we just have to get the numbers going and we'll see. I really don't know if I would take less right now."
Sat, 09 Feb 2013 07:08:26 -0800 Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew is not concerned about the status of impending free-agent DE Cliff Avril. Mayhew is confident Avril's impending free agency will be worked out, one way or another. "All those guys that are free agents, we'll continue to have discussions about," Mayhew said. "I've talked to a few of their agents. We have ample time to sort through those situations. If you go back and look through our history here, we haven't had a lot of free agents that we really wanted to have back that we didn't get back."
Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:39:54 -0800 Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said he believes impending free-agent DE Cliff Avril can play either defensive end spot if he returns to the team. "He's a very good athlete. He could probably stand up, he could play right end, he could play left end. He could do a lot of different things, I think. He's a very talented guy, and I think he's got a lot of versatility," Mayhew said.
Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:11:53 -0800 Detroit Lions restricted free-agent DE Willie Young and DE Ronnell Lewis are the only defensive ends on the team's roster after they released DE Kyle Vanden Bosch. DEs Cliff Avril and Lawrence Jackson will be unrestricted free agents this offseason.
Sun, 20 Jan 2013 14:40:46 -0800 Detroit Lions impending free-agent DE Cliff Avril said he believes he can play in a 3-4 defensive alignment. "Honestly, I can play in both systems," Avril said. "You know, I played linebacker in college. My senior year is when I pretty much moved to a full-time D-end, so I feel I can play both systems. Rushing is rushing. Either you're standing up or you're in a three-point (stance). Rushing the quarterback is the same thing to me, so I definitely feel I can do both."
Sun, 20 Jan 2013 14:34:31 -0800 Detroit Lions impending free-agent DE Cliff Avril said he would prefer to play on a grass field for whichever team he signs with this offseason because playing on turf affects a player's joints after a few years.
Wed, 16 Jan 2013 13:49:46 -0800 Detroit Lions impending free-agent DE Cliff Avril said he would like to re-sign with the team this offseason but is not sure how things will turn out when free agency begins.
Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:24:35 -0800 Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said he has no plans to use the franchise tag on DE Cliff Avril or any other player on the team this offseason.

Sat, 29 Dec 2012 18:02:19 -0800 Chicago Bears OT Jonathan Scott (hamstring) will return to the starting lineup in Week 17 against the Detroit Lions after missing the Week 16 contest. As such, OT Gabe Carimi is back to a reserve role. Scott draws a difficult matchup against DL Cliff Avril, who has eight career sacks against the Bears, and at least one in each of his past four meetings.
Fri, 28 Dec 2012 08:16:12 -0800 Detroit Lions DE Cliff Avril would like to re-sign with the team after he reportedly turned down a three-year, $30 million offer with $20 million guaranteed from the team.
Tue, 11 Dec 2012 07:11:26 -0800 The Detroit Lions only have about $7 million in cap space for 2013. They have eight defensive starters headed for free agency, including CB Chris Houston, S Louis Delmas and DE Cliff Avril.
Wed, 05 Dec 2012 08:29:24 -0800 Detroit Lions DE Cliff Avril has recorded four sacks and two forced fumbles in his past three games.
Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:57:47 -0800 Detroit Lions CB Chris Houston (ankle), LB Ashlee Palmer (thumb), OG Rob Sims (hamstring), DE Cliff Avril (back) and CB Jonte Green (illness) are probable for Week 13. Houston, Palmer and Sims were limited in practice Friday, Nov. 30, while the others practiced in full.

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 08:57:11 -0800 Detroit Lions DE Cliff Avril (knee) is not taking part in practice Wednesday, Nov. 28.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012 08:03:23 -0800 The Detroit Lions could have some interest in free-agent DE Jason Babin (Eagles) but not through waivers. Any team that claims Babin will be responsible for the balance of his $5.575-million contract this year, about $1.8 million. The Lions don't have enough cap space to take on that deal without restructuring current contracts. However, DE Cliff Avril and DE Lawrence Jackson will be unrestricted free agents after the season, and DE Kyle Vanden Bosch just turned 34, so the Lions might be interested in Babin.
Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:18:36 -0800 Detroit Lions DL Cliff Avril picked up two more sacks in Week 12 against the Houston Texans Thursday, Nov. 22, giving him a team-best 7.5 sacks this season. He also forced a fumble in the solid performance.
