OLB Romeo Okwara takes $9M pay cut to stay with Lions
Edge rusher Romeo Okwara agreed to take a $9 million pay cut in a restructured deal to remain with the Detroit Lions, multiple outlets reported Monday.
Okwara missed most of the 2022 season recovering from a torn Achilles. He's played in just nine games (four starts) the past two seasons.
Okwara, 27, agreed to a base salary of $2 million for 2023, down from $11 million. It reduces the Lions' cap hit from $14.5 million t
