On the first day of March, the Lions are apparently looking at the future of Avril in Detroit.
Cliff Avril, who has blossomed into an effective pass-rusher in three seasons at defensive end for the Lions, has been tendered an offer designed to keep him with the Lions in his status as a restricted free agent, according to broadcast reports.

Details of the free-agent signing period remain unclear because of the status of negotiations between the league
