The Lions are clearly going younger on the offensive line, and General Manager Bob Quinn isn’t afraid to cut bait on guys he’s recently signed.
According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Lions are cutting veteran guard Geoff Schwartz today.
The former Giants, Chiefs, Vikings and Panthers guard has battled injuries in the past, but he’s healthy now and ought to find work soon.
The Lions just traded for guard Brandon Thomas yesterday, giving them another option inside.
Schwartz was signed by Quinn this offseason, but the first-year Lions G.M. has also traded wide receiver Jeremy Kerley and cut running back Stevan Ridley, both of whom were signed this offseason as well.
