Detroit Lions updated cap space with Cameron Sutton money now in limbo

When the cut cornerback Cameron Sutton earlier this offseason after he got into legal trouble, they also looked to void the $10.5 million guarantee attached to the veteran's contract, which would have been added this month with Jarvis Landry Jersey Detroit cutting Sutton with a post-June 1 designation.However, Sutton is apparently going to Seth DeValve Jersey fight that, according to Jason Fitzgerald from Over the Cap, who reports that Sutton has or will file a grievance to keep that money. While we await the outcome, 40% of the money in question is back on the books.So, for the time being, the Lions are sitting with $34.5 million in salary cap space, per , and Sutton accounts for $6.38 million against the cap, including the Damarious Randall Jersey $4.2 million that was added as a result of a grievance that will be filed, if it hasn't been already.I was told he either filed or plans on filing Morgan Burnett Jersey a grievance. The way that works is 40% of the number is charged to the cap pending an outcome Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) In the grand scheme of things, the Lions are still in fantastic shape salary cap-wise, so losing the grievance won Kendall Lamm Jersey 't hurt much and they are still well-equipped to make some more moves in free agency if they so choose.More: As for Sutton and the Lions, this case will now move to arbitration, which can take a long time, so we may not have a decision for awhile.
