With free agency just around the corner, the Detroit Lions won’t have a lot of space available to go shopping at the market. One of the main reasons is the abundance of dead room.
Only three teams carry more maximum value in the 2021 season than the Lions. Detroit carries more than $ 20.262 billion in dead plug room.
Almost everything is tied to Matthew Stafford’s business. The Lions ate $ 19 million in Stafford’s contract when they agreed to change it to the Rams. Romeo Okwara costs the Lions just over $ 900,000 in no limit, and Jason Huntley is counting on $ 217,734 after the Lions cut the selection for the fifth round a year ago.
The three teams above the Lions are there mainly due to quarterback operations and the massive associated numbers.
Philadelphia has more than $ 40 million dead, with more than $ 34 million tied to Carson Wentz’s pending traffic to the Colts. The Eagles also swallowed $ 5.8 million in dead capitalization this week when they launched WR DeSean Jackson.
Next up is Stafford’s new team, the Los Angeles Rams. They paid more than $ 22 million in dead money to Goff for the pending trade. Todd Gurley, to whom the suitcases were sent last season, still has a $ 8.4 million limit in 2021. Defender Leonard Floyd counts $ 3.3 million after his release.
Carolina also has more dead money than lions due to a series of moves. Nearly half of the Panthers ’dead money comes from DT Kawann Short, which was released earlier this month.
