Pride Of Detroit on Sam LaPorta
From the article
I break my fucking back for this team. And then I'm going out there this year, and I'm ballin', and maybe they're just not showing the love... if I don't get to wear the Honolulu Blue and play for the Lions anymore, it's going to be all good. I'll go get paid somewhere else.

LaPorta vents contract frustration; back injury concerns linger amid stalled Lions extension talks
LaPorta is venting frustration over stalled contract extension negotiations with the Lions; he expressed disappointment about not feeling financially supported despite playing through injury risk, specifically referencing a back injury in Week 9-10 last year that caused him significant stress and led to concerns about career-ending consequences. He stated: 'I break my fucking back for this team. And then I'm going out there this year, and I'm ballin', and maybe they're just not showing the love.' While general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell have publicly expressed appreciation for LaPorta and stated they want him long-term, both sides have reached a stalemate in negotiations. LaPorta indicated he is prepared to test free agency if a deal is not reached, saying 'if I don't get to wear the Honolulu Blue and play for the Lions anymore, it's going to be all good. I'll go get paid somewhere else.'
