by Drew Bradley | Wed, Mar 11th 3:49pm EDT
Detroit Lions DT, Nick Fairley, has reportedly drawn interest from six different teams, including the Cincinnati Bengals, who he is scheduled to visit with today. One of the teams not expressing interest in the former first round draft pick is the Lions. It was rumored that Detroit was hoping to hold on to Fairley, especially after losing DT Ndamukong Suh to free agency, but according to Fairley's agent, the Lions are no longer interested in re-signing the last member of their 2011 draft class.

Fantasy Impact:
It looks like Fairley is going to be playing somewhere other than Detroit this year. It is still unclear who the Lions are considering to replace him, but there has been some speculation that the team is considering a change to a 3-4 defense.
