Detroit Lions getting infusion of cap space as calendar turns to June

The Detroit Lions are set to have even more cap space to work with this weekend, as the money saved from the release of cornerback Cameron Sutton is about to hit the books. Per Spotrac, the assumption is Sutton's $9 million guarantee was voided because of his legal troubles, and if so that means the Lions will be on the hook for dead-cap hits of $2.18 million in 2024 and $6.54 million in 2025. Sutton's $9M salary guarantee was assumedly voided per his legal issues this offseason, leaving Detroit with dead cap hits of $2.18M in 2024, & $6.54M in 2025. The Lions will open up $10.5M of cap space for the summer this weekend.
