The Lions claimed outside linebacker/defensive end Corey Lemonier off of waivers from the Cleveland Browns this afternoon.
To make room for the 25-year-old Lemonier, the Lions released 22-year-old corner Adairius Barnes. Barnes started one game this season, but Detroit felt the undrafted free agent was expendable. Instead, they will take a chance at the once highly-regarded Lemonier, hoping to tap into that potential that the San Francisco 49ers were banking on when they drafted him out of Auburn in 2013.
