Lions Roar Over Hubbard Contract At Camp
The Detroit Lions celebrated the multiyear signing of running back Marv Hubbard, former Raiders star who set a 1972 single season rushing record. Miami's Howard Twilley warned against surrendering his jersey number as he rehabbed in Tulsa. Bears linebacker Ross Brupbacher walked out after a knee operation and desire for a larger role, and Billy Parks also exited. Strong safety Ray Brown joined the Falcons on a one year deal while Ed White retirement talks continued with the Vikings. The Seahawks pulled their offer to Tom Lynch and Bob Klein weighed a possible Chargers return. Colts placed Delles Howell on waivers.
