Thursday’s tender decisions from around the NFL:
RFAs
Tendered:
- Lions: TE Brock Wright
Non-tendered:
- Lions: LB Anthony Pittman
ERFAs
Tendered:
- Cardinals: WR Greg Dortch
Non-tendered:
- Lions: DB Chase Lucas
It will cost the Lions $2.99MM to retain Wright, who will receive the right-of-first-refusal tender. That doubles as the lowest number within the three-tiered RFA tender formula. A 2021 UDFA, Wright has been a regular in Detroit; the Notre Dame alum has started 19 games with the team. He played 423 offensive snaps last season, which marked a step back from 2022 (591). The Lions’ tight end plans changed when they chose Sam LaPorta in the 2023 second round, but Wright (13 receptions, 91 yards last year) remains in the team’s 2024 blueprint.
