Lions release LB Devon Kennard

He isn't great. He had like two games where he really showed up and many where he was nowhere to be found. But it's still kind of a mystifying move. I guess they're counting on Collins to fill the role? Meaning he'll be lined up in a down position a lot of the time? Can anybody tell me if that's even realistic?

There's a factor here that shouldn't go ignored: Jarrad Davis. He has struggled (immensely) in coverage but has shown flashes against the run and occasionally rushing the passer. With Collins on the roster, it appears that they're looking to utilize Davis' strengths while freeing up $5M of cap space.

In addition, Kennard's play has fallen off as of late. The move makes sense.
