The Detroit Lions have released Nate Burleson and Louis Delmas.

Burleson was scheduled to make $7,531,646 against the Lions' salary cap in 2014, but was willing to restructure his deal.

"I'm in a pretty good position because I've been in it long enough that I'm not surprised by what happens in the NFL, so this situation isn't foreign to me," Burleson told ESPN.com earlier this week. "Which means there's a certain comfort in knowing whatever happens is the best situation for both parties."

Burleson had 39 receptions for 461 yards and one touchdown in nine games in 2013.
