The Detroit Lions have succeeded in retaining the majority of their roster this offseason in an effort to secure a third consecutive NFC North Division title.
The Lions won the affection and attention of countless fans throughout Michigan and beyond in the last season, as they almost reached the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles, which would have taken place at Ford Field in Detroit despite facing several tough injuries.
The Lions’ Alex Anzalone battled valiantly towards the end of the season, enduring a broken forearm to participate in the team’s most significant late-season matchups.
On Tuesday, Anzalone unexpectedly took to X to express his views regarding a contract dispute involving a competitor.
On Tuesday, Anzalone retweeted remarks from Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson, outlining Hendrickson’s position expressed to reporters regarding a current contract dispute.
“Hendrickson stated, per Ari Meirov, that if he were here with four sacks, they would demand a salary reduction and a refund.”
“I won’t say sorry for the salaries given to defensive ends in the National Football League.”
Hendrickson has stated he will not participate this season under his existing contract with the Bengals, which is worth $15.8 million for this year.
Supporters urged Hendrickson to depart from the Bengals for the Detroit Lions, leading Anzalone to tweet again as he realized they seemed to overlook the main point of his message.
