Detroit Lions defensive ends Romeo Okwara and Charles Harris were potential salary cap casualties this offseason, but they have both agreed to take significant pay cuts to stay with the team in 2023. Harris was scheduled to have an $8 million cap hit, but he agreed to reduce his base salary from $6 million to $3 million after missing 11 games with a recurring groin injury in 2022. His 2023 cap hit was reduced to $5.16 million, almost $3 million in savings. Okwara was set to carry a $14.5 million cap hit with an $11 million base salary. He agreed to reduce his base salary to $2 million after missing most of the last two seasons with a torn Achilles. By restructuring Okwara, the Lions will only have a $5.65 million cap hit for him this year. The two restructures will save the team $11.7 million in cap space.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
