Goff, St. Brown Among Lions Entering Contract Year in 2024

A list of Lions entering contract years in 2024.

• Author: Christian Booher

In this story:

The 2024 season will come with high expectations for the Detroit Lions .

As they compete for a Super Bowl title, many of their key players will also be playing with hopes of earning new contracts in Detroit or elsewhere.

Here's a look at Lions players who are entering the final year of their contract.

QB Jared Goff (Trade, 2021)

Goff is expected to ink an extension, though the terms have varied based on industrial predictions. Could Goff offer the Lions a discount with hopes to retain many of the young talents on the team? With the increased salary cap and likelihood that the number will continue going up, that's unlikely.

RB Craig Reynolds (Free agent, 2021)

The Lions are set as far as their top running backs go, but Reynolds has proven valuable as the team's third option. He's well-liked in the position group and has a firm understanding of the offensive scheme. For his role, those are valuable traits to have.

WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (Draft, 2021)

St. Brown is another player who is in for a well-deserved extension. He's rapidly becoming one of the league's best receivers despite not being the biggest or tallest. Yet, he makes up for that with his relentless work ethic and toughness.

WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (Trade, 2023)

The Lions like Peoples-Jones' potential enough to offer him a one-year deal after getting a limited look at him over the second half of last season. With Josh Reynolds off to Denver, Peoples-Jones could get an extended look in 2024.

OG Kevin Zeitler (Free agent, 2024)

Zeitler is a big under-the-radar addition after the Lions lost Jonah Jackson. Though the Lions had one of the league's best offensive lines, the veteran should keep them playing at a high level. He is 34 and the Lions could add young depth in the Draft, but he's been durable throughout his career and could earn a new contract.

OG Kayode Awosika (Waivers, 2022)

Awosika has started games for the Lions each of the last two seasons. He may have to compete for a roster spot should the Lions target the offensive line in the Draft.

OT Taylor Decker (Draft, 2016)

Decker carries a big cap hit heading into the 2024 season, the last of his current contract. However, there's been no noticeable dip in his production as of late and he's still performing at a high level. Time will tell what the terms of a potential extension will look like, but he's back to anchor Goff's blindside.

Kim Klement Neitzel-USA TODAY Sports

OT Dan Skipper (Free agent, 2023)

Skipper is back on another one-year extension after gaining plenty of notoriety late in the year. He was valuable as the team's extra lineman in jumbo packages and should see much of the same role in 2024.

DL Alim McNeill (Draft, 2021)

With the rising market for defensive tackles, McNeill could be in for a nice pay day if he has another strong season. He was playing at a Pro Bowl level last year before suffering a knee injury and has the potential to have a breakout year next to new addition DJ Reader.

DL Levi Onwuzurike (Draft, 2021)

Onwuzurike has been limited by injuries throughout his career, as he missed the entire 2022 campaign. He bounced between being a healthy scratch and a member of the rotation at points last year and will be entering a make-or-break campaign in 2024.

DE Marcus Davenport (Free agent, 2024)

Davenport is looking to rebound from a 2024 campaign hampered by injuries. However, with a healthy offseason and familiarity with Aaron Glenn , he could revive his career. He'll bring much-needed depth and a pass-rush presence opposite Aidan Hutchinson.

DE John Cominsky (Waivers, 2022)

Cominsky's role lessened last season after he inked a two-year deal to remain in Detroit. He'll have to compete to get back into the consistent rotation after the Lions brought in Davenport. Cominsky has been productive for each of the last two years, but if the Lions draft another rusher, the pressure will be on.

DE Matheiu Betts (Free agent, 2024)

Betts is a high-upside lottery ticket for the defensive line. After winning CFL Defensive Player of the Year honors, he'll get a chance to prove his mettle in training camp with a shot at making the roster.

DE/OLB James Houston (Draft, 2022)

Houston missed most of last season with an ankle injury, but has proven to be a solid contributor when called upon in his rookie campaign. If he stays healthy, he'll be a big part of the Lions' pass-rush. However, the Lions want him to be more than just a pass-rush specialist, so this is a big offseason for him.

LB Derrick Barnes (Draft, 2021)

Barnes showed plenty of growth last season, earning a starting job even after the team drafted Jack Campbell in the first round. Now, he must prove that the success he had last season was sustainable.

CB Carlton Davis (Trade, 2024)

The Lions need the Davis addition to pan out after missing on previous cornerback additions. At his best, he's a shutdown corner. Detroit would benefit greatly if he can find his best level of production for this season.

CB Emmanuel Moseley (Free agent, 2023)

Moseley played just two snaps last year for the Lions before succumbing to a knee injury. Him at full strength is certainly intriguing, and he could wind up being a big part of the defense in 2024.

CB Kindle Vildor (Free agent, 2024)

Vildor will at the very least provide veteran depth for the defensive back room. He became a starter down the stretch and gave the team a stable presence despite some costly hiccups.

CB Khalil Dorsey (Free agent, 2022)

Dorsey got a crack at starting late in the year after providing mostly special teams production throughout the year. He could factor into the rotation, but special teams will likely be his main job to start 2024.

S Ifeatu Melifonwu (Draft, 2021)

Melifonwu finally found his groove after injuries plagued the better part of his three years. Once he returned from a broken hand, he entered the starting lineup and became a catalyst. Now, he must prove that his showing down the stretch was no fluke.

K Michael Badgley (Free agent, 2023)

Re-acquired early in the season, Badgley won the starting job late in the year and was perfect on field goals down the stretch. Brad Holmes has hinted that there will be competition at this position, so Badgley will have to maintain his consistency.

Fjords, Pharaohs or Koalas? Time to Plan for Your Next Eclipse.

If you can’t get enough of totality, or missed out this time, you’ll have three more chances in the next four years in destinations like Iceland, Spain, Egypt and Australia.

• Share full article

By Danielle Dowling

Are you still a little giddy from the magical moments of totality during Monday’s solar eclipse? Or did clouds swoop in to block your view? Maybe you just couldn’t make it to the path of totality this time. No matter what, the question now is “ Where and when will it happen again?”

“People who have never seen it before, the first words out of their mouth after the totality ends is ‘I’ve got to see another one, this is incredible, this is unbelievable.’ That is when you become addicted to these things and end up traveling no matter where the next one is,” said Joseph Rao, an eclipse chaser and guest lecturer at the Hayden Planetarium.

So, if like Mr. Rao, you’ve developed a raging case of umbraphilia — the love of eclipses — you’ll have three chances over the next four years to see the moon blot out the sun. The first, on Aug. 12, 2026, will start above Greenland, then strafe the west coast of Iceland and move along the Atlantic Ocean and over Spain. Almost a year later, on Aug. 2, 2027, another will skirt the Mediterranean coast of North Africa then cross Egypt and part of the Arabian Peninsula. The third, on July 22, 2028, will cut across Australia and the southern tip of New Zealand.

Future Eclipses

Eclipse chasers will have several more chances this decade to view a total solar eclipse .

Last week, as Victoria Sahami , the owner of Sirius Travel , was preparing to guide a group of tourists in Mazatlán, Mexico, for Monday’s big event, she was also planning for these other upcoming eclipses. Ms. Sahami joined the ranks of the eclipse-obsessed when she witnessed one in Venezuela in the 1990s. “Like many people, I was hooked. There was no going back,” she said.

Total solar eclipses happen fairly regularly — about every one to two years — in locations scattered around the world. “That’s the great thing about them: You wind up in places that you don’t normally go,” Ms. Sahami said.

A major spoiler is weather, which will be a big variable in the 2026 eclipse — one Greenland, Iceland and Spain will see.

“Iceland normally has a lot of cloud during that time of year,” said Paul Maley , who runs Ring of Fire Expeditions . “The data shows Spain to have the higher good-weather prospects of all three. However, the sun is low in the sky and the eclipse ends as the sun hits the horizon at sunset.”

Because of Iceland’s mercurial meteorology, Ring of Fire Expeditions is going all in on Spain, with a 10-day excursion on the mainland. Sirius Travel is offering not only a five-day trip to Majorca but also an eight-day tour around Iceland. It will be based in Reykjavik, and the itinerary will remain flexible on the day of the eclipse so the tour can easily pivot toward the location with the least cloud cover. Ms. Sahami recommends the trip for those who already have a few eclipses under their belt and would be happy just to take in the sights of Iceland if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

The 2027 eclipse, on the other hand, promises to be truly stellar: Luxor, Egypt — the site of numerous ancient temples as well as the Valleys of the Kings and Queens — sits right in the middle of the path of totality and will be bathed in darkness for a full 6 minutes 23 seconds. Weather-wise, it is what Ms. Sahami called “a slam dunk.” “You know you’re going to see it. You know that you’re not going to get any clouds,” she said.

But for all its potential, those considering Egypt should be aware that the State Department has a Level 3 “Reconsider Travel” warning for the country because of the risk of terrorism.

The 2028 eclipse will darken the skies over Sydney, Australia, for 3 minutes 49 seconds. It will be the first time the city has experienced a total solar eclipse since 1857. Ms. Sahami has her eyes on a trip based out of there, while Mr. Maley has chartered a cruise ship off the northwest coast of Australia. It will be winter there, he said, but that isn’t likely to mean bad eclipse-viewing weather.

If you want to see any (or all) of these eclipses, you should get started on planning and booking now, particularly if you want to sign up for a trip organized by a tour company. One of Sirius Travel’s excursions to Luxor is already full.

Scrutinize refund policies and look into insuring your trip. Several companies will fully refund your deposit if you cancel a year in advance. A lot can happen, Ms. Sahami said, “but if you think you’re going to go, why not?”

Education Secretary Cardona meets with teachers and borrowers as he touts new student debt relief plan

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona met Monday with about half a dozen teachers and borrowers in New York City to mark the announcement of a newly proposed federal student debt relief plan that could benefit more than 30 million people.

This is the first direct attempt at bringing back a revised version of President Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness program , which the Supreme Court struck down last year, crushing the hopes of more than 40 million eligible borrowers  who could have had up to $20,000 in debt canceled.

"We want to provide as much debt relief to as many people as possible as quickly as possible," Cardona said in an interview Monday at the headquarters of the United Federation of Teachers union following his meeting with teachers.

"So, we're being very thoughtful about this," said Cardona, one of Biden's four Latino Cabinet members.

Cardona said his office and the Biden administration came together to work out the details of the newly proposed student debt relief plan taking into account the arguments from the Supreme Court justices who struck down their previous debt forgiveness program.

At the time, the court argued that Biden lacked power under the 2003 Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act, HEROES Act in short, to enforce a program that would have cost more than $400 billion without congressional approval.

The new plan would cancel runaway interest for millions of borrowers, including that of more than 23 million low-income or middle-income borrowers. It would also nullify debt for those who are eligible but are not yet participating in current forgiveness programs, including those in public service who’ve been paying off their loans for 10 years or more, as well as for borrowers who started paying off their student loans two decades ago.

It would also help borrowers enrolled in low financial value programs and those who can detail financial hardship preventing them from repaying their loans — such as child care or medical expenses.

Cardona said he anticipates pushback from critics.

“They’re going to be some that are going to try to challenge us. Sadly, they’re more worried about saving face than helping their constituents. But we’re committed,” Cardona said. “We believe this is not a red or blue issue. This is a student issue. This is about saving higher education and making sure that the promise of opportunity exists for everyone.”

Student debt in the U.S. has been steadily increasing for more than a decade, reaching $1.74 trillion as of September. About  43 million Americans have some form of student loan debt .

Almost 7 in 10 (67%) Latino student borrowers have educational debt , according to the  Education Data Initiative . Thirty-three percent of Latino borrowers said they put off marriage and 37% delayed having children because of their student debt.

Iolani Grullon, a kindergarten teacher in the predominantly Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights for 18 years, was one of several educators who met with Cardona. She obtained her undergraduate degree in 1995 and accumulated $30,000 in student loans, but piling interest caused her debt to double throughout the years.

After 15 years struggling to pay off her debt, Grullon was eligible to apply for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program . She was denied repeatedly. But in January 2022, “when I finally saw my balance at zero,” Grullon learned she had been accepted.

The 50-year-old mother said the debt forgiveness has allowed her to start saving up to send her 16-year-old twin daughters to college in a few years.

Grullon said she has students whose parents are still attending college, adding that debt relief for them is a big deal, considering they have to also account for child care expenses as well as work and study.

Brenda Poggio, a former elementary school teacher of Ecuadorian descent now working with the United Federation of Teachers, obtained debt relief four months ago under the same program as Grullon after being denied multiple times.

“It was an amazing feeling,” Poggio told Cardona at the meeting, adding that it was the first time she felt retirement was within her reach.

First-generation college graduates, many of whom are Black and/or Latino, tend to have lower incomes and accumulate less wealth, on average, compared to those with a parent who has a bachelor’s or higher degree, complicating their ability to repay loans, according to a  2021 Pew Research Center analysis .

The Biden administration has already approved $146 billion in student debt relief for 4 million borrowers over the past three years under four existing debt cancellation programs: the Saving on a Valuable Education Plan’s early forgiveness, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, the total and permanent disability discharge plan, and the Income-Driven Repayment plan.

"That's more than any other administration, and we're just warming up," Cardona said.

"I hope people recognize that while the debt relief plan that we put forward, that at the Supreme Court struck down, was a setback, we're not done fighting," he said. "We're scrappy. We know who we're fighting for."

As Biden runs for re-election against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, his administration has been intentional in touting their student debt cancellation efforts.

While Cardona declined to speak directly about Biden's re-election campaign, he said that their current plan and ongoing efforts to cancel student debt are what the Biden administration stands for.

But that hasn't always resonated with some prospective voters who have said they're still waiting for relief that hasn't happened.

The newly proposed student debt plan is expected to undergo a public comment period in coming weeks, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — President Joe Biden said Monday that more than 30 million borrowers would see “life-changing” relief from his new plan to ease their student loan debt burdens , a fresh attempt by the Democratic president to follow through on a campaign pledge that could buoy his standing with younger voters.

He detailed the initiative, which has been in the works for months, during a trip to Wisconsin, one of a handful of battleground states that could decide the outcome of Biden’s likely November rematch with Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

Biden said he wanted to “give everybody a fair shot” and the “freedom to chase their dreams” as he lamented the rising cost of higher education.

“Even when they work hard and pay their student loans, their debt increases and not diminishes,” he said. “Too many people feel the strain and stress, wondering if they can get married, have their first child, start a family, because even if they get by, they still have this crushing, crushing debt.”

Biden’s trip, which included a stop at a Chicago fundraiser on the way back to Washington, comes a week after primary voting in Wisconsin highlighted political weaknesses for him as he prepares for the general election.

More than 48,000 Democratic voters chose “uninstructed” instead of Biden, more than double his narrow margin of victory in the state in 2020.

Trump also saw a significant number of defections during the state’s primary, with nearly 119,000 Republicans voting for someone other than him.

But Biden’s results, which echoed similar protest votes in states like Michigan and Minnesota, have rattled Democrats who are eager to solidify the coalition that catapulted him into the White House in the first place.

A critical fracture has been the Israel-Hamas war. Younger voters are more likely to disapprove of Biden’s enduring support for Israel’s military operation in Gaza, which has caused heavy casualties among Palestinian civilians.

Concerns about the war have spread throughout the Madison area, said Democratic Rep Mark Pocan, who represents the city. Pocan said he was “surprised to see the intensity on the issue” from all ages of voters, and he wanted Biden to be aware.

“I just want to make sure he knows that if we’re going to have a problem, that could be the problem in Wisconsin,” Pocan said.

Some young voters have been impatient with Biden’s attempts to wipe away student loan debt. The Supreme Court last year foiled his first attempt to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in loans, a decision that Biden called a “mistake.”

Since then, the White House has pursued debt relief through other targeted initiatives, including those for public service workers and low-income borrowers. Administration officials said they have canceled $144 billion in student loans for almost 4 million Americans.

At the same time, the Department of Education has been working on a more expansive plan to replace Biden’s original effort. Monday’s announcement was an opportunity to energize young voters whose support Biden will need to defeat Trump in November.

Vice President Kamala Harris went to Pennsylvania, another battleground state, on Monday to promote debt relief in a meeting with city and school employees in Philadelphia.

“You shouldn’t have to make a decision whether you serve or be able to pay your bills,” she said.

Republicans said Biden’s plan shifts the financial burden of college tuition onto taxpayers who didn’t take out loans to attend school, and Kris Kobach, the Republican attorney general in Kansas, accused him of trying to twist the law “beyond recognition.”

The Job Creators Network, a conservative advocacy group that challenged Biden’s original plan, is considering legal action as well. The organization is backed by Bernie Marcus, a Republican donor who is also hosting a fundraiser for Trump in Atlanta on Wednesday. Trump described Biden’s debt relief initiative as an “election-enhancing money grab” two years ago.

Biden’s new plan would expand federal student loan relief to five new categories of borrowers through the Higher Education Act, which administration officials believe puts it on a stronger legal footing than the sweeping proposal that was killed by a 6-3 court majority last year.

The plan is smaller and more targeted than Biden’s original plan, which would have canceled up to $20,000 in loans for more than 40 million borrowers. The new plan would cancel some or all federal student loans for more than 30 million Americans, the White House said. The Education Department plans to issue a formal proposal in the coming months, with plans to start implementing parts of the plan as early as this fall.

The plan’s widest-reaching benefit would cancel up to $20,000 in interest for borrowers who have seen their balance grow beyond its original amount due to what Biden described as “runaway” interest. That part of the plan would forgive at least some unpaid interest for an estimated 25 million borrowers, with 23 million getting all their interest erased, according to the White House.

An additional 2 million borrowers would automatically have their loans canceled because they’re eligible but have not applied for other forgiveness programs, such as Public Service Loan Forgiveness.

Borrowers who have been repaying their undergraduate student loans for at least 20 years would be eligible to have any remaining debt canceled, along with those repaying graduate school loans for 25 years or more.

The plan would forgive debt for those who were in college programs deemed to have “low financial value.” It’s meant to help those who were in programs that ended up becoming ineligible to receive federal student aid or programs found to have cheated students.

A final category would cancel debt for borrowers facing financial hardship.
