It seems the opportunity to play for Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions was too good to pass up for former Indianapolis Colts linebacker Grant Stuard. Despite receiving offers from other teams that included more guaranteed money, Stuard opted to join the Lions. This decision speaks to the appeal of being part of the Lions’ organization, even if it meant leaving money on the table.
The Lions haven’t been overly active in bringing in external talent this offseason, with only three new players signed since the start of free agency. Stuard, however, represents one of those additions, and his choice to come to Detroit, despite other offers, highlights the strong culture and leadership that Dan Campbell has fostered within the organization. It’s clear that the opportunity to be a part of something special in Detroit outweighs the financial incentives for some players.
