The Lions have released 25-year old RB Brian Calhoun and 31-year old WR Travis Taylor.  Calhoun just couldn’t stay healthy in his career with the Lions.  He played in 11 games carrying the ball 14 times for 54 yards (3.9 ypc).  Calhoun also caught 7 passes for 55 yards (7.9 avg) and he also returned 10 kickoffs for 221 yards (22.1 avg).  Travis Taylor played in 101 games in his NFL career catching the ball 312 times for 4,017 yards (12.9 avg) with 22 TD grabs.  This is a sign of growth for the Lions in getting rid of players like these.
