In order to make some of the aggressive moves the Detroit Lions have made in free agency, they needed to free up some cap space. First, they created $10 million in cap space by releasing veteran defensive tackle Michael Brockers. Then they asked Charles Harris to take a $3 million pay cut. Now, another player has agreed to take a pay cut... and it’s a massive one.
As first reported by ESPN’s Field Yates, defensive end Romeo Okwara agreed to a pay cut that saves the Lions nearly $9 million in cap space.
