Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Lions have released WR Breshad Perriman on Monday.
- Dave Birkett adds that the Lions have also cut CB Mike Ford.
- Tom Pelissero says the Lions have waived safety Alijah Holder.
Perriman, 27, is a former first-round pick out of Central Florida by the Ravens in the 2015 NFL Draft. He spent over three seasons in Baltimore before he was cut loose.
Washington signed Perriman to a contract during the season, but elected to waive him soon after. From there, the Browns signed him to a contract and later agreed to a one-year, $4 million contract with Cleveland before asking the team to let him out of the agreement so he could sign with the Buccaneers.
The Jets signed Perriman to a one-year deal worth up to $8 million for the 2020 season and later joined the Lions this past March on a one-year contract worth $3 million.
In 2020, Perriman appeared in 12 games for the Jets and caught 30 passes for 505 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
