The Detroit Lions have waived/injured DE Korey Bosworth (leg), and released CB Dre' Bly, DT Robert Callaway, LB Caleb Campbell, LB Vinny Ciurciu, WR Brian Clark, DT Landon Cohen, RB DeDe Dorsey, G Noah Franklin, C Dan Gerberry, PK Steven Hauschka, CB Jonathan Hefney, OT Jon Jansen, CB Eric King, T Cliff Louis, WR Mike Moore, CB Paul Pratt, CB T.J. Rushing, S Ko Simpson, WR Tim Toone and CB Dante Wesley.
| Footballguys view: Mr. Irrelevant Tim Toone was unable to make this team as a return man, but he still has some of the best hair in the game. Adding Alphonso Smith in a trade with the Denver Broncos made veteran Dre Bly expendable. |

Lions | In the market for a safety? Fri Jul 16, 02:25 PM
The Detroit Lions could be on the lookout for another safety before the season, reports Tim Twentyman, of The Detroit News. There are questions about who will start opposite S Louis Delmas. S C.C. Brown has seen the most reps, as S Ko Simpson (knee) is still recovering from surgery and S Marquand Manuel has been inconsistent with his play.
| Footballguys view: Any of these guys could be good week-to-week plug-ins for IDP leagues because of tackle opportunity, but none are assured of holding the job for a long time. |
