Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Lions landed a solid value play with Tyler Lacy's four-year, $4.5M extension, earning a B CVI that reflects shrewd roster building at the margins. At $1.1M annually, Detroit is paying depth piece money for exactly what Lacy provides — a reliable rotational defensive tackle who can step in without the unit falling apart. The modest $0.7M guaranteed keeps the financial risk minimal while locking up a known commodity through his prime years, giving the Lions flexibility to develop younger talent or pivot if needed. This isn't a needle-moving signing, but it's the type of smart, low-cost retention that championship rosters are built on. Detroit continues to demonstrate they understand the value of keeping productive role players at reasonable rates rather than chasing flashier names in free agency.

Performance Analysis

Tyler Lacy's F grade in Detroit reflects a defensive tackle who hasn't been able to crack one of the NFL's deepest rosters. The Lions' defensive line has been loaded with talent, making it nearly impossible for developmental players to earn meaningful reps. Lacy's F grade captures a player who is far from contributing at the level Detroit requires. His production in limited action has been nonexistent, and the competition for roster spots is fierce. Lacy needs a change of scenery to a team with less interior depth to have any chance at an NFL career.
