The Detroit Lions are in the midst of trimming down their roster down to 53 players on Tuesday. And two big names have now emerged as reported cut casualties. But which one is the bigger disappointment?

The Lions have reportedly decided to part ways with wide receiver Breshad Perriman and linebacker Jahlani Tavai. Both failed to meet lofty expectations in Detroit this summer, and the team could be the worse for it.

Perriman joined the Lions this offseason with a chance to start in Detroit.
