Interesting offseason cuts around the league thread
 

Not necessarily just those that could be a benefit to the Patriots.

The Lions waste no time in cutting WR Titus Young, disgruntled 2011 2nd round pick (#44). 5'11", 4.53 40 time.

Lions waste no time in parting ways with Titus Young | ProFootballTalk

Young was suspended for most of his sophomore season at Boise State after a fight with a teammate. Additionally, Young was passed upon by many teams during the NFL draft due to widely being considered a character risk. In May 2012, the Detroit Lions sent Young home after he sucker-punched Louis Delmas. In November 2012, the Detroit Lions again sent Young home and did not play him in the annual Thanksgiving day game due to conduct detrimental to the team. According to Lions coaches, Young purposefully lined up in the wrong position twice and got into a verbal confrontation with receivers coach Shawn Jefferson.[3][4] On December 5, 2012, after keeping Young out of the previous game and away from the team facility, the Lions placed Young on Injured Reserve, ending his eligibility to play for the rest of the 2012 season. To express his frustration, Young tweeted about not wanting to play anymore if he does not get the ball.[5]

Titus Young ran a 4.43 at one point.

I'm not sure where you got your numbers from as they obviously vary, but I went to NFL draft scout.

As soon as you google "Titus Young 40 yd dash time" 4.43 seconds comes up in multiple websites, although to your defense he did run as low as a 4.55 at one point during multiple runs...I don't know the general protocol as to whether or not they tend to tail off, but it seems like he does have some decent speed.

The Titus Young cut was expected. The blood bath in the Jets' organization that will come within the next week or two will be expected. I am waiting for the surprises.

Great thread PBPF. We need decent threads in these off season doldrums times.

Looking into the discrepancy, he ran an official 4.53 at the combine but unofficial 4.43. Ran a 4.4 at his pro-day.

Demps was the better option of the two at UF anyway.

Trust me, ignore any stats or speed that Titus Young has put up. The guy is a complete idiot. The Lions lost both Burleson and eventually Broyles this year. Instead of stepping up into the number two role the idiot just complained until the Lions got sick of it.

I'm putting Young firmly in the "lost cause" category.
