Lions Free Agency Preview and Results: ( 2024 )

Brock Wright receiving a RFA Offer Sheet is something I didn't anticipate. I don't blame the Lions for not tendering Wright at the 2nd Round Tender, which would have been $ 4.89 million.

The Lions can either match the 49ers RFA for Brock Wright, try to work out a trade with the 49ers for Wright (which would ensure the 49ers landing him), or decide not to match the offer sheet.

Report: 49ers offer to Brock Wright includes $6 million in guaranteed money

Details of Brock Wright's offer with the 49ers

The $ 6 million in guaranteed money by itself isn't a concern on this end, from a Lions fan perspective. What's concerning is what the salary cap # is for the 2024 season? Usually with offer sheets, the salary cap # for the first season of the contract is heavily front loaded to make it less appealing for the offer sheet to be matched. If the contract is along these lines, I hope the Lions don't match the offer sheet.

The Lions not having Brock Wright for the NFC Championship Game at San Francisco proved costly for the Lions.

Brock Wright probably caught the 49ers attention when preparing for the NFC Championship Game, while looking at Lions game tapes.

While there are more talented TEs than Brock Wright, his familiarity with the Lions system, his versatility, and willingness to be an under the radar type of player (though he wasn't under the 49ers radar) would be difficult to replace in the 2024 season. Especially, in the early part of the season.
