The Lions and Sam LaPorta have not reached an agreement on a contract extension, and the Pro Bowl tight end is unhappy. In an appearance on Bartosol Sports’ Pardon My T a ke , the former Second-team All-Pro voiced his frustration with where the contract talks stand.

“It’s disappointing that you go out there every week and you bear the risk of getting hurt,” He Said “Like last year, I broke my f—ing back for the team. And I’m going out there this year and I’m balling, and maybe they’re just not showing the love. It sucks. I’m going to continue to be a pro. … I’m going to continue to do my thing and ball out, and in three months, if I don’t get to wear the Honolulu blue and play for the Lions anymore, it’ll be all good. I’ll go get paid somewhere else. So whatever.”

Those are so very strong words, though they shouldn’t be too surprising LaPorta has been a very solid tight end since being drafted in the second round out of Iowa by Detriot in 2023.…
