The Detroit Lions have extended linebacker Derrick Barnes' contract for three years at $25.5 million, with $16 million guaranteed. Despite his significant contribution to the Lions' defense, Barnes struggled last season, managing only three appearances due to a knee injury sustained early in the season. This extension represents the Lions' faith in his potential to return to form, especially considering this was his first season in four that he did not play a minimum of 15 games, reflecting the importance the team places on his health and performance.
The Lions and linebacker Derrick Barnes have agreed to a three-year, $25.5 million extension, ensuring his place in the team's defense for the coming years.
Barnes was limited to just three games last season due to a knee injury, marking the first time he didn't play 15 games in a season.
