Lions’ Caldwell, players face uncertain future

Allen Park — Much like coach Jim Caldwell, several Lions players face an uncertain offseason.

Each year, players lose jobs when their bosses decide their play isn’t measuring up to the next year on their contract. And with the Lions searching for a new general manager, even players who might feel comfortable with their status can’t be sure where they stand.

Some players stand out as potential cuts to save money against the salary cap — linebacker Stephen Tulloch has a $7.3 million cap hit, running back Joique Bell is at $3.5 million, and tight end Brandon Pettigrew would cost $4.
