Not many people are going to choose southeast Michigan over south beach all other things being equal. Regardless of his reasons by all accounts Jalen wanted to be in Miami, if Detroit was his preferred destination he'd likely be a lion right now as it seems like the Rams were willing to send him wherever he preferred to go and according to all reports the Lions were definitely in the hunt to try to acquire him. Plus he went to FSU and played for a while in Jacksonville. Seems he likes FL, which is somewhat understandable. And that lack of state income tax is huge when talking the money he makes. At the average of 20M of his deal, that's an extra 850k a year in his pocket. Albeit living in Miami probably costs about that much more for something equivalent in Detroit.

Louis Friend Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Lions re-sign Buggs. Sounds like $2.1m full guaranteed, $4.5m base salary and another $1.5m in incentives Buggs was so solid for us in the middle last season. Love this deal. 👏🏾 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this deal. 👏🏾 I thought that sounded like a lot until I realized it was a 2 year deal. $3M a year for him plus a little for incentives is a very solid signing. Glad to have him back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to have him back. It's right at where I'd thought he'd sign ($2-3m per yr). I love it. Provides good depth and leadership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 One of the DT targets I wanted in Detroit is signing with the Falcons. A little more than I expected, especially on the guaranteed amount but one less DT to consider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Rapoport Spotrac had Sutton expected to be 3 years, 22 million ($7.5M+/year). Hard to say if Spotrac undervalued him or if the Lions overpaid.
