To make room for recently acquired quarterback Kevin O'Connell, the Lions have released cornerback Keith Smith. Given the problems of the secondary -- especially being light going into the final preseason game tomorrow -- it's a surprising move. Smith was Detroit's best downfield on-ball defender last year, but he never got untracked in training camp, Smith was out for an extended period of time with a groin injury and head coach Jim Schwartz said he wasn't consistent when he returned.
its a surprise but its not a surprise there has been talk for a few years not that his days were numbered he was never great but he was soild
he did have a sizeable cap # which could be a factor if talks with lawyer milloy start up again, they could also be banking on a few soild players get cut in a weeks
bottom line another player Millen took is gone down to 31
