Romeo Okwara takes massive $9 million pay cut, saving Lions significant cap space

In order to make some of the aggressive moves the Detroit Lions have made in free agency, they needed to free up some cap space. First, they created $10 million in cap space by releasing veteran defensive tackle Michael Brockers. Then they asked Charles Harris to take a $3 million pay cut. Now, another player has agreed to take a pay cut... and it’s a massive one.

As first reported by ESPN’s Field Yates, defensive end Romeo Okwara agreed to a pay cut that saves the Lions nearly $9 million in cap space.
