On Friday, it was reported that the Detroit Lions restructured the contract linebacker Jamie Collins signed as a free agent just last March. By adding voidable years to the three-year, $30 million contract that guaranteed him $18 million, the Lions were able to lower his $11.3 million salary cap hit significantly according to NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo.
Earlier this week, news broke that Detroit intends to release cornerback Desmond Trufant, who was also signed as a free agent early last year.
