Detroit Lions Retain Tight End Brock Wright, Matching 49ers' Offer

The Lions' decision to match the San Francisco 49ers' offer for Brock Wright ensures the tight end remains in Detroit for three more seasons.

The Detroit Lions have matched the San Francisco 49ers' three-year, $12 million offer sheet for tight end Brock Wright, securing his stay in Detroit.
Wright, who played a key role in the Lions' running game, was pursued by the 49ers as a potential second tight end option behind George Kittle.
The 25-year-old tight end has contributed significantly to the Lions' offense over the past three seasons, with a notable performance in the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
With Wright's contract matched, the 49ers will continue their search for a replacement tight end through free agency or the upcoming draft.
The Lions' tight end room remains strong with Wright's return, alongside star tight end Sam LaPorta and other key players.
