## Resource

Detroit Lions are doubling down on “prove it” one-year contracts, giving players like D.J. Wonnum and Larry Borom a shot to earn big deals after 2026. Sam LaPorta, recovering from a major injury, is poised to be the starting tight end again with no contract beyond this season. In the secondary, Khalil Dorsey and Christian Izien are stepping into bigger roles — Dorsey needs to dominate to earn a spot, while Izien, coming off a Bucs stint, could force his way into a long-term deal with strong play. These short-term deals are a smart move for Detroit, letting them evaluate talent without long-term commitments — especially as key players like LaPorta, Gibbs, and Branch await extensions.
