Veteran linebacker Alex Anzalone returned to Lions training camp this week, but his presence hasn’t silenced the growing whispers about his future in Detroit. According to one NFL insider, the relationship between Anzalone and the Lions may be nearing a breaking point.
Anzalone, who’s in the final year of his contract, recently expressed frustration over his pay — reportedly believing he’s undercompensated compared to other linebackers around the league. While he passed his conditioning test and suited up for the first time this camp, his comments raised eyebrows about whether he still sees long-term value in sticking with the team.
Meanwhile, the Lions are getting strong showings from younger linebackers at camp, making the 29-year-old’s future role uncertain. With no sign of a new deal and the team’s leadership emphasizing youth and competition, it’s fair to wonder if this will be Anzalone’s final season in Honolulu blue.
