Detroit Lions sign DE Ahmed Hassanein

This extension grades out as a slight overpay for the Detroit Lions — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Ahmed's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DEs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $985K average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DE market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Ahmed is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
