An interesting (stupid) move by the Lions here, probably for salary cap reasons, although he was only due for 3.35 million next year. He's a former first round pick by the Jaguars in 1999 (30 years old) and so has plenty of NFL experience. It seems like the tendency of Matt Millen is to hire marginal starters, hope to get good seasons out of them, and when they don't, cut them out of spite. The fact of the matter is, to my knowledge, the Lions don't exactly have any up and coming starters at the CB position, unless they draft someone. Assuming that the Lions dedicate their first round pick to the position to pick up an immediate starter (and there are a few available) it still couldn't hurt to keep Bryant as either the second starter or nickel corner. He has a lot of starting experience.
