The Chicago Bears have agreed to a one-year contract with defensive end Austen Lane.
The Lions saved $5.5 million by letting Burleson go and $6 million more by cutting Delmas loose.
Burleson, 32, caught 39 passes for 461 yards in 2013 but missed seven arms after breaking his arm in an early-morning car crash.
Cunningham is currently listed on the team's staff page as a senior coaching assistant.
"A couple years ago, particularly in 2011…[W]e had too many penalties after the whistle and things like that."
It's not Ndamukong Suh's fault he is scheduled to make more than $12 million next season and has a $22.4 million cap charge.
The defense underachieved in 2013, and Teryl Austin anticipates improvements in several areas that hindered the Lions last season.
Jim Bob Cooter has been hired as quarterbacks coach for the Detroit Lions.
Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin says he's already had a chance to chat with Ndamukong Suh.
Cooter's tenure with the Colts overlapped that of new Lions head coach Jim Caldwell, who was head coach of Indianapolis in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Detroit center Dominic Raiola is returning for a 14th season with the Lions.
Quarterback Drew Brees flourished in that system, and under the tutelage of Lombardi, and the Lions hope the same will be true of Matthew Stafford.
"Would the Houston Texans right now give Matthew Stafford a raise to come down there? Yes, would Jacksonville Jaguars give him a pay raise to come down there? Yes."
Joe Lombardi had not planned to be a football coach. His father had warned him against it, just as the great Vince Lombardi had warned Joe's father.
Star Wars seems to be the one movie that everyone has seen.
