Despite their predecessors hitting the position hard, new general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell could very well be in the tight end market this offseason. Of course, that may get Campbell more excited than a plate of warm kneecaps, but for Lions fans, it can get a bit tiring spending another offseason looking for depth at tight end.
The truth is Jesse James is one of the prime candidates to get cut this offseason. Detroit would eat nearly $4.3 million in dead cap, but the $2.1 million in cap relief may be worth it considering how ineffective James has been in two season with Detroit.
