In another move designed to save room under the salary cap for next season, the Lions released defensive tackle C.J. Wilson today.
I mentioned him on PFT Live as a potential cap casualty, &the Lions have in fact released DT CJ Wilson. Was due $2.3M inc $250k bonus in '16

In eight games with the Lions last season, Wilson chipped in eight tackles.
After the cut, the four defensive linemen remaining under contract for next year are Ziggy Ansah, Caraun Reid, Devin Taylor, and Gabe Wright. The Lions current situation leaves them with more than $34 million in cap space.
