Detroit Lions - Team Notes

The Detroit Lions are carrying over $4,151,311 in salary cap space for 2018. That number is around the middle of the league -- nowhere near the almost $59 million Cleveland will carry over or the $69,161 that the Dolphins will carry over.
The teams closest to the Lions are Pittsburgh ($4,041,060) and the Rams ($4,314,494). Detroit has many free agent decisions to make including DE Ezekiel Ansah and LB Tahir Whitehead.
