The Detroit Lions will reportedly release defensive tackle Damon Harrison, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Harrison had two years remaining on his current deal but his release will save the team $6.72 million against the cap, according to Spotrac. The team will still have $5 million worth of dead cap due to his signing bonus.

The defensive tackle would have also added $3.5 million in guaranteed money for 2020 if he was still on the roster in March, per Spotrac.
