Interested in seeing the numbers of the contract. If it's a good payday I wonder if this his last year to protect his long term health with his retirement funded.

Isiah might be able to build this one year into a multi year contract if he proves he still has whats it takes and reminds NFL GMs of how he was in 2022 & 2023

Ive heard he hasn’t saved a $ of his rookie contract. Have hoped he’d get a second or third deal

That would be unfortunate but common. Has anyone else seen that ESPN documentary “Broke”?

Given the short careers and lowering value of running backs, he should save every dollar he can.

Where did you hear that & from who?

Mahomes is gonna miss Pacheco's pass blocking.
And with their O-line Patrick might have a long, long season.

Wishing Isiah the best with the Lions and a long career, money-wise and health wise, but his running style is not built for longevity. He earned every yard in KC.
