Cliff Avril will participate in Detroit's first offseason workouts, which start next Monday, if he receives a long-term deal from the team. Negotiations are currently at a standstill. "I think we're going to continue to try and get something done hopefully and we'll see how it goes," said the defensive end. Avril doesn't have immediate plans to sign his one-year franchise-tag tender of $10.6 million and is hoping to work out a long-term extension before the contract deadline of July 15.
