"If he returns for a 12th NFL season, free-agent linebacker Keith Bulluck said he wants it to be with one of three teams: the Detroit Lions, New York Giants or New England Patriots.

Bulluck started eight games for the Giants last year, in his return from ACL surgery. He spent his first 10 seasons with the Tennessee Titans, where he played for Lions coach Jim Schwartz.

"First and foremost, New York because they gave me an opportunity to come and continue my career, really get healthy, where I needed to be," Bulluck said when asked about his preferred landing spots in an interview today on SiriusXM NFL Radio. "Detroit. I like what Schwartz is doing up there. Last year, I wasn't prepared physically to play and do the things that they would need me to do, but now I feel I am. New England is always veteran-friendly, and I know, every year, they're in contention of winning.

"Like I say, I want to win, really. At this point in my career, financially, me and my family are fine. But I definitely would like to be in a position to play myself into maybe possibly being one of the top-paid linebackers in the league again. Definitely one of the top players in the league." "
