  • Lions create $5.5 million in cap space thanks to Nate Burleson, Dominic Raiola
    The Detroit Lions created $5.5 million in cap room by restructuring the contracts of wide receiver Nate Burleson and center Dominic Raiola, according to Dave Birkett. Their deals were restructured earlier this month in an effort to give the Lions more flexibility with the salary cap, and $5.5 million is a pretty significant savings.

  • Nate Burleson agrees to restructure contract with Lions
    Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson has agreed to restructure his contract for 2013, according to Dave Birkett. The deal is apparently not official just yet, but the move will give the Lions additional cap space to work with when free agency opens in March. Since Burleson is under contract through 2014, it's not clear if this restructure means taking a pay cut or moving money to next year. I'd have to imagine it's the former since Burleson was set to have a base salary of $4.5 million in 2013. Before restructuring his contract, his cap hit was around $6.5 million for this year pa...
