They\u2019ve also had to replace multiple starters on offense and defense.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the actions of Alex Anzalone, the Lions may soon have to worry about who will be playing linebacker when training camp begins.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into the final year of his contract, Anzalone wasn\u2019t present for the Lions\u2019 voluntary offseason workouts. Set to have a $7.2 million cap hit, there haven\u2019t been any reports of Anzalone angling for a new contract or debating a holdout.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you scroll through Anzalone\u2019s X social media page, you\u2019ll find multiple references to him sharing posts about how valuable he is to the Lions\u2019 defense.<\/p>\n<p>After fracturing his left forearm, Anzalone only made it through 10 games last year, but before that, he had been coming off back-to-back 100-tackle seasons. When healthy, he\u2019s been a mainstay, starting all 57 games he\u2019s appeared in with Detroit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_2842,h_1598,x_615,y_54\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/all_lions\/01jwgx3qjjz71k81bym3.jpg\" alt=\"Life's Good': Detroit Lions Dan Campbell Addresses Potential Alex Anzalone  Issue\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Set to turn 31 in September, it makes sense for Anzalone to get every cent he can while at the peak of his career.
