On Thursday, the Detroit Lions made the decision to part ways with aging defensive tackle Damon Harrison. This news comes as a bit of a surprise as the position was already a need. Now, defensive tackle is closer to the top of the list with this move.
While there was some surprise with the move, it does make some sense when you look closer at the details. The Lions will save $6.72 million in cap space for 2019 with the move, taking their 2020 cap space to around $53.8 million according to Lions Wire writer Erik Schlitt.
