Lions roster set for major overhaul...

Tom Kowalski has an in-depth article about the Lions current roster, and the cuts that could allow the Lions to be up to 39.7 million under the cap when free agency hits. He didn't even bring up Kitna, who would be another 2 million freed up. The point of the article is that the Lions won't (as they mentioned in the GM's press conference) be making headlines in March, but rather in December; so the idea is to get more for their money. They're going to need a great deal of cap money for the draft, with their team record allotment of picks/draft position. They're also going to have to act like an expansion franchise, and build with under the radar type signings, such as the Dolphins heisting of Justin Smiley last year. They're going to have to make themselves bigger and faster and younger. Which isn't easy when you're playing with so much money.
