The Detroit Lions have not made a dent in free agency yet, but they continue to clear their roster of some of their most undesirable contracts.
NFL Network reported early Tuesday that the Lions plan to release backup quarterback Chase Daniel and defensive tackle Danny Shelton.
The moves create another $6.3 million in cap space, but add two more holes for the Lions to fill this offseason.
Shelton, one of the Lions' top free agent additions last spring, made 37 tackles in 12 starts in his lone season in Detroit, when the Lions had the league's worst defense.
