Detroit Lions release Cameron Sutton and the fans have weighed in
Just over 24 hours after the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office announced that a warrant had been released for Detroit Lions CB Cameron Sutton regarding alleged Domestic Battery by Strangulation, the Lions have officially announced that they have released the veteran cornerback.
