Cut last week by the Jets, veteran cornerback Lito Sheppard is looking for a new home.
We’re told that two teams are in the mix for his services. Per a league source, the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears have expressed interest.
To date, no visits have been scheduled.
Sheppard was traded last year from the Eagles to the Jets. The eight-year veteran appeared in 11 regular-season games with nine starts in 2009. He started eight in a row before being removed from the starting lineup for the AFC title game.
