Integrity28 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Lions released CB Chris Houston. Houston isn't an elite corner, but he's a seven-year starter who manned LCB in Detroit each of the past four seasons, and was given a new five-year, $25 million deal last March. The Lions will move forward with Rashean Mathis, Darius Slay, and Bill Bentley likely occupying their top three cornerback jobs. Houston, 29, had the worst year of his career in 2013, and underwent offseason toe surgery. We suspect he'll get a shot in another camp, but not before he gets healthy. Houston has been injury plagued several years running. Per OverTheCap.com, the Lions save $1.5 million in cash by cutting Houston, but lose $400,000 in cap space. $2 million of Houston's $3.5 million salary was guaranteed. This may have come up already in the Brandon Flowers thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 So you think Idzik the genius released Antonio Cromartie because of an injury and an uncharacteristic down year, all so he can pursue a cornerback with a worse injury history? Oh wait, he already did that with Patterson.... guess this would be the 2nd time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
