The clock is ticking on teams to have exclusive access to their own players, and it looks like the Lions are trying to take advantage.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Lions are flying safety Louis Delmas in today for a physical.

Given that Delmas has played for them for four years, and he’s about to be a free agent, it doesn’t take much dot-connecting to think something could be happening for him before the deadline.

Delmas makes a difference for the Lions when he’s well, but he hasn’t been lately, missing eight games last year and five in 2011 with knee problems.
