Sam LaPorta reportedly frustrated by lack of Lions contract extension

Sam LaPorta expressed frustration over not having a contract extension with the Detroit Lions, ESPN reported in a post about his remarks on Barstool’s “Pardon My Take.” ESPN said he indicated he would be OK playing elsewhere in 2027, not that he had decided to leave. Separately, Dave Birkett quoted LaPorta saying he was “balling” this year and that the team “maybe” was not showing him love.
