Today’s Rumors of the release of Kevin Jones and Kalimba Edwards have been confirmed on detroitlions.com…
“As I’ve said all along, we will always make decisions that we believe are in the best interest of our entire football team,” Lions Head Coach Rod Marinelli said. “As the off-season has evolved from our postseason roster evaluation—to the Combine—to the free agency period—we feel we’ve made several moves to improve our team.
“With the off-season program beginning next week and with our draft preparation intensifying, we decided this was the right time to make these two roster moves. While there are always a number of factors that go into this type of decision, we do believe these moves bring clarity to our roster and also eliminate some uncertainty heading into the draft that would have otherwise existed.
“We sincerely appreciate the contributions that Kevin and Kalimba have made to our football team and we wish them the very best. We appreciate their hard work and professionalism during their time with the Lions.”
