Alim McNeill’s hefty contract is under fire as the Detroit Lions’ defensive tackle struggles to match his pay with performance—missing key games due to a brutal ACL tear and posting subpar stats since. CBS Sports labels him one of the NFL’s most overpaid players, especially after his injury derailed momentum from a career-high sack season. But there’s hope: McNeill says training camp this year feels like a “night and day” improvement, fueled by a full offseason recovery. If he returns to his explosive form, the deal might look smarter. Meanwhile, the market for DTs has surged since he signed, making his situation even more scrutinized—but the Lions’ initial salary projections may have been spot-on.
