When it comes to the Detroit Lions, they need help in a lot of different places, including at the linebacker position.
Well, the Lions next linebacker may have just become available.
According to a report from Field Yates, the Houston Texans have waived LB Zach Cunningham.
Cunningham led the entire NFL in 2020 with 164 total tackles and his cap hit for a team claiming him would only be $275,000 with no guarantees moving forward.
One thing to keep in mind is that Cunningham was a healthy scratch last week for disciplinary reasons so inquiring teams will have to look into that before claiming him off waivers.
The Texans restructured Zach Cunningham’s contract this offseason, meaning a claiming team would inherit just a $275,000 cap hit for the rest 2021.
The 26-year old LB has no guarantees as of now for 2022, making him even more likely to find a team via waivers. https://t.co/uhEFgTV03h
