The Lions could save $2.45 million against the cap by releasing Tony Scheffler.
The cap-strapped Lions have plenty of options when trying to knock their 2013 cap figures down, but MLive.com mentions Scheffler and Shaun Hill as candidates to be cut. Hill's release would save $2.75 million. Scheffler underwhelmed late in the season when asked to step in for injured Brandon Pettigrew.
Feb 23 - 1:23 PM

MLive.com
Tony Scheffler caught five passes for 53 yards in Detroit's Week 17 loss to the Bears.
Pressed into far too big of a role down the stretch thanks to the Lions' injury woes, Scheffler will finish with 42 catches for 504 yards. The yards are Scheffler's most since 2008 in Denver, but mostly a product of simply being available. Signed for $1.95 million next season, Scheffler should be back in Detroit, but will be miles from TE1 relevance.
Sun, Dec 30, 2012 05:28:00 PM
Tony Scheffler caught just four passes for 41 yards in Detroit's Week 16 loss to the Falcons.
It was another underwhelming effort from Scheffler. He wasn't a factor on offense outside of an 18-yard catch and saw less targets than Will Heller and Joique Bell. Scheffler won't have any fantasy value if Brandon Pettigrew (ankle) returns for next week's game against the Bears. He has just 37 catches on the season.
Sun, Dec 23, 2012 01:08:00 AM
Tony Scheffler caught just three passes for 36 yards in Detroit's Week 15 loss to the Cardinals.
Scheffler finished second on the team with his seven targets, but it wasn't as many as we would have guessed, especially since Matthew Stafford threw the ball 50 times on the day. It was an underwhelming effort, considering that Brandon Pettigrew (ankle) missed the game. If Pettigrew, who is week-to-week, misses next week against the Falcons, Scheffler will again be a low-end TE1.

Mikel Leshoure
Sidelined
Mikel Leshoure is being held out of team drills at Lions OTAs with an undisclosed injury.
"He's battling some stuff," coach Jim Schwartz said. "He can do some individual stuff but he's not ready to do any team work." There are no indications that the injury is serious, but it's worrisome news for a player who's had trouble staying healthy since being drafted. Leshoure can ill-afford more leg ailments after plodding through 2012. For now, Leshoure remains penciled in as the Lions' short-yardage "specialist" despite last season's anemic 3.71 yards per carry.

Ryan Broyles
Sidelined
MLive.com considers Ryan Broyles a breakout candidate this season.
Broyles is recovering from a torn right ACL, and the Lions' only notable offseason receiver addition was sixth-round pick Corey Fuller. They must feel comfortable with Broyles' progress. In a six-game stretch last season, Broyles caught 21 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns. Broyles is questionable for Week 1, but once he's back he'll have a ton of potential in the Lions' high-powered attack while working opposite Megatron.
