Detroit Lions Roster Cap Figures for 2022: Every player included

The 2021 NFL regular season is officially in the books which means it is time to start looking toward the offseason for our Detroit Lions.

GM Brad Holmes and HC Dan Campbell will have some very important decisions during the offseason, including offering contracts so some players (think Josh Reynolds) who are set to hit free agency, while deciding on whether or not they want to shed some contracts (think Trey Flowers) to free up some cap space.

That being said, here is a snapshot of the Lions’ current Roster Cap Figures as of today.
