The Detroit Lions have made a decision regarding tight end Shane Zylstra, along with two other players. The team has decided not to tender contracts to restricted free agents Shane Zylstra, Anthony Pittman, and Kayode Awosika, making them unrestricted free agents.
This move gives the Lions more cap flexibility as they look to strengthen their roster ahead of the new season. While it’s not the end for Zylstra, Pittman, or Awosika in Detroit, it does signal the team’s intent to explore all available options.
Linebacker Anthony Pittman is reportedly close to reaching a new deal with the Lions, which would strengthen the team’s linebacker depth. As for Zylstra and Awosika, they’re now free to negotiate with any team, and their future with the Lions remains uncertain.
