Unless you’re living under a rock or specifically paying attention to a current sports debacle, then you know it was reported on Saturday that Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell signed a contract extension a couple months back.
Jim Caldwell’s multi-year deal was signed months ago, just not disclosed, per source. Deal silences speculation he was in last year of deal.

As Adam Schefter points out, this ends a lot of speculation that the 2017 season was a do-or-die year for Caldwell. The team has since confirmed a deal has been made, but has not released any specifics to the contract.
