S · Detroit Lions
Cast your verdict:
A low-stakes futures signing with minimal immediate roster impact for Detroit. Headlines show Strickland was waived twice, signaling he's firmly on the roster bubble. The biggest signal is his cycling between the active roster and practice squad repeatedly. Fans largely view this as a camp body move to fill special teams depth. Strickland faces long odds to stick, likely serving as a developmental safety at best.
This extension grades out as an overpay for the Detroit Lions — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Loren's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL Ss, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the S market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Loren is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
