From the episode
He said, I think the combination of getting your heartstrings twisted as well as the violent sport that we play, you know, it sucks. It's disappointing that you go out there every week and bear the risk of getting hurt. Like last year, I broke my effing back for the team, and then I'm going out there this year, and I'm bawling, and maybe they're just not showing the love.

Sam LaPorte unhappy with Lions contract; betting on himself in free agency.
Sam LaPorte expressed frustration over his contract situation with the Lions, telling Barstool Sports that he is disappointed about not being paid fairly despite bearing the risk of injury and breaking his back for the team last year. He said he will continue to play professionally but indicated that if he does not get paid by the Lions, he will leave in free agency to get paid elsewhere. The source notes LaPorte and the Lions have broken off contract talks; he opted to bet on himself. If he continues producing and stays healthy, he could become a $20 million-a-year tight end in free agency.
