General manager Brad Holmes, a pivotal figure in the Detroit Lions’ rebuilding efforts, has successfully addressed the team’s financial situation as part of their overall restructuring. The dead money, a key metric indicating financial liabilities, has shown a positive trend in recent years. Currently, for 2024, it stands at a minimal $1.43 million, signifying a favorable outcome in this context.
According to various sources such as Over The Cap (reporting $46.1 million) or Spotrac (reporting $48.1 million), the Lions find themselves among the top 10 NFL teams with significant cap space for the 2024 season. While they already possess substantial room for maneuvering in the upcoming offseason, the team may opt to take further steps as the free agency period approaches, considering that more cap space is generally perceived as advantageous.
Although there are not many apparent cuts or likely cap casualties on the current Lions’ roster, potential contract extensions and restructures loom on the horizon, which could impact the 2024 cap numbers. The team might explore these avenues to create additional cap room.
Concerning contract restructures, there are four Lions players who stand out as the most likely candidates for such adjustments this spring.
