Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone has openly expressed disappointment with his current contract situation as he enters the final year of a three-year, $18.75 million extension. Scheduled to earn $6 million this season, Anzalone feels undervalued despite being a critical part of the Lions' defense and a four-time team captain. He has a history of performing well, notably setting a career-high of 129 tackles last season.

His absence from offseason workouts was partially due to contract frustrations, although he remained active on social media showcasing his training efforts. The Lions have yet to address his contract, and with his pivotal role in the team, it raises questions about how this situation could affect both his performance and the team's defensive strategies moving forward.
