Detroit Lions transactions recap: June 2013

They didn't make nearly 40 roster moves like in May, but the Detroit Lions still had a pretty busy month of June. They continued to make changes to the bottom of their roster by switching out guys who will likely end up being nothing more than camp bodies. Also, the Lions continued to build their depth by signing some well-known veterans who could contend for spots in the two-deep.
