New Lions president Rod Wood was on WJR 760 Friday morning to announce a new five-year broadcast deal that makes WJR the flagship station for Lions football beginning in 2016.
In the interview with the Paul W. Smith Show, Wood also spoke in more detail about what his role as team president will be moving forward.
“I would probably not be directly involved in personnel decisions,” Wood said. “But certainly as it relates to the financial impact of the team and the salary cap helping facilitate the best use of resources to put the best team on the field on a consistent basis.
