Alex Anzalone Expected to Depart Lions in Free Agency

As free agency begins, veteran linebacker Alex Anzalone is expected to leave the Detroit Lions. The team is prioritizing younger, cheaper options, and no extension has been reached. Anzalone, a team captain who started 73 games with 490 tackles, is drawing interest from the New York Jets and Chicago Bears, where he would reunite with former coaches Aaron Glenn and Dennis Allen. A robust market is expected for the veteran, marking a likely end to his five-year tenure in Detroit.
