Lions' Alex Anzalone Takes Side of Rival Player in Ongoing Contract Dispute
The Detroit Lions have managed to keep most of their team intact this offseason in a bid to three-peat as NFC North Division Champs.
The Lions captured the hearts and minds of millions of fans across Michigan and beyond this past season as they came within a handful of difficult injuries of advancing to the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles, which would have been a home game at Ford Field in Detroit.
The Lions' Alex Anzalone fought bravely down the stretch of the season for the Lions as he braved a broken forearm to play in the Lions' biggest late season games.
On Tuesday, Anzalone found himself in a surprising position as he took to X to share his thoughts on a rival player's contract dispute.
Anzalone retweeted comments from Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson on Tuesday, detailing Hendrickson's stance shared with reporters about an ongoing contract dispute.
"If I sat here with four sacks, they'd want a pay cut and some money back," Hendrickson said according to Ari Meirov.
"I'm not going to apologize for rates being paid to defensive ends in the National Football League."
Hendrickson has said he won't play this season on his current deal with the Bengals, which is valued at $15.8 million for this season.
Anzalone added, "This" as his comment along with his retweet.

Fans clamored for Hendrickson to leave the Bengals for the Detroit Lions, which prompted another tweet from Anzalone as he noticed they appeared to miss the crux of his post.
