The Detroit Lions have released Breshad Perriman, according to a source.

Perriman signed a one-year, $3 million deal in March and was expected to play a significant role with the team.

The move comes despite the Lions guaranteeing $2 million on the wide receiver's contract.

The Detroit Lions have signed cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman.

Detroit hosted the veteran for a workout prior to signing him. They also waived safety D'Angelo Amos.

The Lions needed help at cornerback with Quinton Dunbar out due to personal reasons and Corn Elder also sidelined with a leg injury.
