On Monday, the first day of the 2023 NFL free-agency tampering period, the Detroit Lions announced that they have re-signed DT Isaiah Buggs. Buggs was solid for the Lions in 2022, and following the conclusion of the season, he made it clear that he wanted to stay in Detroit. After signing his new contract, Buggs made it clear that Detroit is where he wants to be.
“I didn't want to go into free agency wondering where I was going to end up,” Buggs said after re-signing. “When Detroit called, I wanted to be back. I always wanted to be back. When I got drafted with the Steelers, my career was up and down — until I found a place where I can finally call home. When you have a place you can call home, you feel more comfortable. And when you get comfortable, you can do more.”
