[/h1][h1]Lions release Daniel Bullocks, go 0-for-40 in five-year draft span[/h1][h5]Published: Thursday, July 08, 2010, 10:00 PM Updated: Friday, July 09, 2010, 8:53 AM[/h5]

Daniel Bullocks
ALLEN PARK -- The final two have fallen.
With the trade of linebacker Ernie Sims earlier in the offseason and Thursday's release of safety Daniel Bullocks, not a single Detroit Lions player remains from five consecutive years of drafts (2002-06).
Former Lions president Matt Millen selected 40 players during that five-year stretch, and every one of them has left Detroit. Some were traded, some left as free agents and some were given their outright release.
Sims, a first-round pick in 2006, was dealt to the Philadephia Eagles in a three-team trade that brought Denver Broncos tight end Tony Scheffler to Detroit. Bullocks, who was fighting to come back from knee problems, was cut.
Bullocks, a second-round pick in 2006, looked to be shaping into a solid player during his rookie season. But he suffered a knee injury in the following year during a preseason game and never fully recovered.
Last month, Bullocks said he was close to 100 percent but wasn't quite there yet. During offseason workouts, he wasn't getting a lot of reps in the defense, and that's usually an indication that a player doesn't figure prominently into a team's plans.
Among the 38 players gone from that five-year stretch are six first-round choices: quarterback Joey Harrington, receivers Charles Rogers, Roy Williams and Mike Williams, running back Kevin Jones and Sims.
There also were five second-round picks: defensive end Kalimba Edwards, linebackers Boss Bailey and Teddy Lehman, defensive tackle Shaun Cody and Bullocks.

At least for 2010.
As expected, the arrangement will pay Johnson more money this year, with no additional years being added to the contract. Johnson currently is signed through 2012.
The new deal has not yet been signed, so we suppose it could fall through. But at this point it's unlikely.
Specifics aren't yet known. It had been reported that the Titans would likely accelerate some escalators money Johnson unlocked for future years as a way to bump up his $550,000 base salary for 2010.
Johnson, the 2009 AP offensive player of the year, had said that he can't play for only $550,000. Now, he won't have to.
[h1]Six years, $61.5 million for Dumervil[/h1]Pera league source with knowledge of the situation, Dumervil's newcontract from the Broncos has a base value of $61.5 million over sixyears.
The deal carries $58.332 million in new money, and aninjury guarantee of $43.168 million. Skill guarantees apply in 2011($28 million) and 2012 ($12 million).
Onthe first day of the next league year, whenever it may start, $14million in base salary becomes guaranteed for skill. At about thattime, $6 million of it will be paid out as an advance.
Also in2011, $14 million in base salary for 2012 becomes guaranteed. In early2012, $13.3 million of it will be paid as an advance in March of thatyear.
In 2012, $12 million in base salary for 2013 becomes guaranteed.

First D'brickashaw, now Dumervil.... pattern?
