Detroit Lions release CB Aaron Berry

Well it happened, Aaron Berry was released today because of off-season trouble including gun charges and DUI. The story of the gun incident is really bad. Waving a gun at people over a small incident is really dumb. The police knew who Berry was and that he was 'dumb' and dropped a pick agianst the Saints.

Berry smoked vs. the Saints

Football wise this hurts the Lions. Corner is a place where the Lions have little talent and experience. This leaves Chris Houston, Alphonso Smith and Jacob Lacey as the starters. The Rookies Dwight Bentley, Chris Greenwood and Jonte Green will back up.

Mr. C knows Jonte Green chances have improved

Bringing in a veteran is possible. The list is not good. Andre Goodman, Leigh Bodden (not going to happen), Bryant McFadden, Leigh Torrence and Benny Sapp (Not going to happen). McFadden would be the best choice but Steelers have a bad track record with other teams. 

Bodden gave up on us in 2008

The Lions could move S Don Carey back to corner which would help his chances of making the roster.

Don Carey has a shot
