Last month, we wondered aloud whether the Detroit Lions could make a move regarding the contract of defensive end John Cominsky. Last year, the Lions signed Cominsky to a two-year, $8.5 million deal, but the veteran defensive end had a down year on the field. With his cap hit jumping from just $2.3 million in 2023 to $6.2 million in 2024, it was fair to wonder if the Lions were going to restructure his deal or even possibly release Cominsky.
It appears the Lions went with option A. As first pointed out by JBILL on Twitter, salary cap website Over The Cap shows new contract numbers for Cominsky that suggest the veteran defender took a pay cut for the 2024 season.
