Lions Eye Kraft’s Deal for LaPorta | Detroit Lions News

The Packers just gave tight end Tucker Kraft a massive 4-year, $75M deal with potential upside to $92M — a bold move that’s likely setting the Lions’ sights on Sam LaPorta. With Kraft’s contract featuring injury protection and performance incentives, it’s becoming the blueprint for LaPorta’s extension, especially as he enters his final year of rookie pay. The Lions may need to outbid Kraft’s structure — including that eye-popping $19.7M average over the first three years — to secure their rising star, mirroring how they followed the Falcons’ Bijan Robinson extension with Jahmyr Gibbs. This could be the moment LaPorta gets paid like a top-tier tight end — and the Lions are ready to make it happen.
