For the first time in a long time, the Detroit Lions are going to have to choose to waive NFL caliber skill positions players prior to the September 5.

Doesn’t it suck you can’t eat as much pizza as you want without consequences? Doesn’t that two-drink limit at the open bar sometimes leave a bad taste in your mouth? The Detroit Lions will soon be facing a similar issue as they have too much of a good thing and will soon be forced to choose.

Having major depth at skill player positions and being forced to choose between good and better isn’t familiar territory for Detroit.
