Lions training camp suddenly a battleground for vet chasing massive payday

Marcus Davenport’s second stint with the Detroit Lions comes with some decent upside. But it also comes with a steep climb. After re-signing on a one-year, $2.5 million deal that could balloon to $4.75 million with incentives, the veteran edge rusher is hoping to finally stay healthy and cash in on a bounce-back year. However unlikely that seems, that's the goal for Davenport, the org, and the fans.

That won’t be easy, though. Davenport has played in just six total games over the past two seasons, including only two with the Lions last year before a torn triceps ended his season early.
