Alex Anzalone returns to the Lions on a 3-year contract

Alex Anzalone isn’t going anywhere. The free agent linebacker will stay in Detroit after agreeing to sign with the Lions on a new three-year contract.

Per Ian Rapoport, Anzalone is inking back in Detroit for three years and $18.75 million. He has spent the last two years as the Lions top linebacker. The $6.25 million average per year is more than he earned in those two combined seasons since joining the team in 2021.

Anzalone, 28, is coming off his best pro season. He led the Lions with 125 total tackles and also chipped in 1.5 sacks, six PDs and an interception while playing in all 17 games.

We’ll get a full breakdown on the numbers once the Lions make the signing official.
