On Saturday morning, the Detroit Lions made the signing of former Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Mike Daniels official. But the real bombshell came with the corresponding move.
“We have all the respect for everything he’s done,” head coach Matt Patricia said of Riddick in his Saturday morning press conference.
Riddick has long been speculated as a potential cap casualty all offseason. The veteran running back carried a $4.625 million cap hit into the 2019 season. By releasing Riddick, the Lions will save over $3.
