In a surprise move, the Detroit Lions have decided to cut special teams star Jalen Reeves-Maybin, who was set to count $4.75 million against the cap next season. The team will also avoid paying his $500,000 roster bonus. This decision is likely a strategic move to free up cap space for future signings and bolster their roster. With the NFL offseason in full swing, the Lions are looking to make key moves to improve their special teams unit and overall performance. The move may also impact the team's approach to the upcoming NFL draft and free agency period, where they may target top special teams players.
