Yesterday we told you about the release of RB/KR Ian Smart, and today Lowell Ullrich of the Province reports that two more players were released and one retired.

DB Lavar Glover and DL Nautyn McKay-Loescher were were also released and the club announced  linebaker Jojuan Armour has retired.

Ullrich also seems to concur with the report from Arash Madani from Sportsnet this week that the Lions are close to signing Riall Johnson away from the Montreal Alouettes.

The search for replacements also begins this weekend in Miami as the Lions will hold the first of their off-season free agent camps.
