Allen Park — For the third time this offseason, a veteran Detroit Lions player has agreed to a significant pay cut to stay with the team.

Chris Spielman earned four Pro Bowl berths as a linebacker for the Lions from 1988 to 1995.

Rich Eisen hopped on the bandwagon as he calls for the Detroit Lions to not only make the postseason in 2023, but host a playoff game. The Detroit Lions playing in the playoffs has been an anomaly lately, and unless you’re a Lions fan over the age of 30 a home playoff game is absolutely
