The Detroit Lions have made the decision to part ways with cornerback Cameron Sutton following a warrant for alleged ‘Domestic Battery by Strangulation’. Despite the warrant being issued two weeks ago, Sutton had not turned himself in, prompting the team to take action.
Sutton, who was signed to a lucrative three-year, $33 million deal last offseason, started all 17 games for the Lions in 2023. During his time on the field, he tallied six passes defended and one interception.
The Lions have been proactive in bolstering their secondary this offseason through trades and signings, and the release of Sutton is a significant move for the team. A brief statement regarding Sutton’s legal situation was released by the Lions, but there have been no further updates from the team, Sutton, or the Hillsborough County Police since the initial announcement.
The story continues to unfold, and updates will be provided as necessary. Stay tuned to Heartland Magazine for the latest developments on this developing situation.
