One of the bigger choices for the Detroit Lions over the next week is the fate of starting linebacker Tahir Whitehead. The six-year veteran is set to become a free agent when the league year starts next Wednesday, and the Lions have to make a decision whether to give him an extension or let him hit the open market.
So far, there have been no real indications as to what the Lions will do. However, this much appears to be certain: Tahir Whitehead is excited for whatever is to come next. On Wednesday morning Whitehead tweeted out simply, “One week left,” with a few accommodating emojis.
