“I think you guys know how I feel about Commish, he’s the ultimate warrior,” Glenn said. “Anything you ask him to do, he’s going to go out there and do it. And man, he is a Detroit Lion through and through, so. Really like that player, really like what he brings to the table.”
That doesn’t exactly sound like a coaching staff interested in pinching pennies.
And while Paschal certainly seemed to jump him on the depth chart, it’s not like Cominsky was a bit player in 2023. From Week 13 through the playoffs, he played at least 50 percent of the defensive snaps in every game but one (not including Week 17, which the Lions used to rest him as a healthy inactive). For the season, he had more defensive snaps than any other Lions defensive lineman not named Aidan Hutchison. So if you’re going to get rid of Cominsky, that’s a pretty big role you need to fill—and Detroit already has plenty of needs on the defensive side of the ball. Can you fill that role with a better player via the $4.6 million in savings?
