Lions will release DT Danny Shelton, save millions in cap room

The Detroit Lions are set to release starting nose tackle Danny Shelton to help free up salary cap space. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported the pending move on Tuesday morning and it was quickly confirmed by a team source.

Shelton is entering the second season of a two-year, $8 million deal he signed before last season. Cutting the 28-year-old nose tackle will save the Lions $4 million against the salary cap for 2021.
