## Resource

Atlanta Falcons shake up the tight end market with Kyle Pitts’ massive new contract—does this mean Sam LaPorta is in line for a record-breaking deal with the Detroit Lions? Matt Dery breaks down what Pitts’ $54 million extension means for Detroit’s cap situation, comparing Pitts and LaPorta’s performance metrics and PFF grades, and weighing whether Brad Holmes can keep all of the Lions’ emerging stars. Dery spotlights Miles Frazier’s uncertain future on Detroit’s offensive line, training camp dates for fans, and the critical question: did the Lions do enough to upgrade their secondary? With injury concerns around Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph, position battles and new signings like Christian Izien and Chuck Clark take center stage. Insights from Bradford Banta underscore Detroit’s defensive challenges—can improved edge rushing and depth keep the Lions on track for another playoff run? Don’t miss this essential Locked On Lions analysis.
