Glover Quin would like to sign a contract extension and finish his career with the Detroit Lions.

Quin, 31, is entering the fifth and final year of the contract he signed with the Lions in 2013.

“Yeah, I would love to be here in Detroit,” the safety said today. “If I sign an extension I’ll probably obviously finish my career here. That would be huge for me.

“But I can’t control that. I don’t know if it’s going to happen, when it’s going to happen. My job, like I’ve always said since I’ve been here, since I’ve been in the league, I’m a player. I just play. I let the coaches coach, I let the managers manage and the trainers train. If they feel like I’ve deserve that and I’ve earned that, then they’ll make it happen. If not, then I’ll play my year in Detroit and I’ll say good-bye to your good people.”

Quin has been extremely dependable and productive. He hasn’t missed a game while anchoring the defensive backfield and producing 16 interceptions in four seasons.

Quin indicated contract talks were still in the early stages.

“Like I said, I try to stay out of all that stuff,” he said. “We have reached out to them, but we’ll see.”
