The Detroit Lions have their entire draft class of 2022 locked up with Friday’s signing of second-round pick Josh Paschal. The defensive lineman from Kentucky signed for four years and $8,419,466, a predetermined salary slot based on the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement.
Per Over the Cap, the Lions have exactly $10,255,846 in available cap room now that Paschal is under contract. At Spotrac the figure is $9,364,590, a discrepancy based on incentive earnings calculations.
Both figures place the Lions 23rd in the 32-team league rankings for cap room. The Cleveland Browns have the most while the New England Patriots are the lowest at just under $2 million.
