Detroit Lions clearly think highly of Kerryon Johnson

On Saturday, the Detroit Lions parted ways with running back Theo Riddick. This was after the signing of defensive lineman Mike Daniels, who was cut by the Green Bay Packers in the middle of last week.

The acquisition of Daniels is terrific. Mike is only one year removed from making the Pro Bowl in 2017. And he will add even more depth to a defensive line that should be much improved in 2019, even before this move. But the nagging question is: why was Theo Riddick cut?

So, the idea is that because you sign Daniels, you have to make room on the roster.
