The Detroit Lions restructured Glover Quin’s contract Wednesday, leaving them nearly $2.2 million under the salary cap.
There are plenty of reasons for the team to make such a move, including squeezing their rookie draft picks under the cap and perhaps even making room to satisfy James Ihedigbo’s lavish contract demands.
But there might be a new reason to remember the amount of money the Lions are saving on Quin, and it has plenty to do with the cornerback position.
Recently, the New England Patriots cut their 28 year-old veteran corner Kyle Arrington who has grabbed nine interceptions in his career and collected 62 combined tackles last season.
