A contract extension may not be coming for Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone, but the team has done a little something to sweeten the pot for him this year. According to ESPN's Field Yates, the Lions have added $250,000 to Anzalone's original $6 million base salary for 2025 and they've fully guaranteed the $6.25 million total.
Anzalone's salary would have become guaranteed after Week 1, and now (per Yates) he also has some unspecified incentives to further bolster his potential pay in the final year of his three-year deal.
Anzalone has been blunt about his disappointment regarding the absence of a new contract to keep him in Detroit for a little while beyond the 2025 season.
