For the foreseeable future, the Detroit Lions will have their head coach, Jim Caldwell, locked up. Signing the 62-year old coach to a multi-year extension earlier this year, although it was just announced on Saturday, is yet another phenomenal move by this Lions’ front office in the early part of the 2017 season.
The first move was retaining quarterback Matthew Stafford to a contract that made him the highest paid player in the NFL, ever. It’s nice to see the Lions recognize the value of its players and personnel. Both of these guys don’t get enough credit, even though they have earned their stripes.
