The Lions have cut 32-year old WR Dennis Northcutt.  Northcutt played in 16 games (2 starts) for the Lions last season and he caught 35 passes for 357 yards (10.2 avg) with 1 TD grab.  He also returned 3 kickoffs for 66 yards (22.0 avg) and 22 punts for 189 yards (8.6 avg) last season for the Lions.  The Lions evidentally like some of their younger players better than Northcutt and I see that as progress.
