Report: Lions safety Tavon Wilson takes a pay cut to stay in Detroit

Though the Detroit Lions still have plenty of cap space, many believed veteran safety Tavon Wilson was still a candidate to be released for some cap savings. Had Detroit released Wilson, they were lined up to have an additional $2.9 million in cap space, and after the Lions signed free agent safety Andrew Adams, it seemed like his position on the team may be expendable.
