My fear is that Bryan Burnham will be announcing his retirement. Nothing to go on here, just a gut when he was consoling Rourke post-game. I hope I'm wrong.
Has anyone else played their final game in black and orange?

Adams Jr. is under contract for the 2023 season. He’s currently slated to collect a $25,000 active roster bonus on February 15 and earn a $113,000 base salary with an additional $13,500 in housing. The dual-threat passer has a chance to pocket $11,111.11 per game for being the starting QB and $1,388.88 per game for playing 51 percent or more of the offensive plays, while 20 or more touchdown passes unlocks a $25,000 bonus.
With Nathan Rourke seemingly destined to sign an NFL contract in the offseason, the Lions have an experienced option for next season. Adams Jr. has a $151,500 hard money total for 2023, which is backup money in the CFL. That can give co-general managers Rick Campbell and Neil McEvoy flexibility at the most important position in football.
If Rourke sticks with an NFL club, then I would suggest Burnham will be gone next season. Which would be very unfortunate as he is a very special player.Gridiron Ernie wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 11:51 pmDavid, I dearly hope we're wrong about our gut feeling re Burnham, as I came away with the same. Factor in that Bryan will be 33 next season, and suffered more than his share of injuries this season, and likely most importantly---he and his wife have one recently adopted child and two additional foster kids all under the age of 5. That's a lot on the family plate, and being far-removed here in BC might not fit the plan. It makes me sigh to even think he may retire, but I won't be surprised. Like you, hope I'm wrong. When I think of the Lions, he comes first to mind---he's been special throughout his years with us.
Adams’ contract tops out at about $400,000, including bonuses, if he starts every game. That’s fair value for a starting QB if Rourke doesn’t return.SammyGreene wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2022 6:51 amRegardless if Rourke is back or not, the Lions will be spending much more on the QB position in 2023.
Here's the details of Vernon Adams' contract with a small bonus due in February. Lions should know of Rourke's status before it's due but that is looking more and more like mighty valuable insurance.

Of our pending free agents I would say Butler and Godber are due for the biggest bumps in pay.
The six-foot-one, 210-pound defender indicated on Twitter that he is retiring as a player but will be “back with Ticats soon.” He did not immediately reply to a request from 3DownNation for information regarding the nature of this new position.
Arguably the best team I've been a part of since I started playing ball. But personally it was a really difficult one, from dealing with injuries and overcoming them to a backup role when I am still playing at a high level. Something I can't accept right now.
I felt a type of way at times. I look forward to take some time to rest and heal, spend time with my family and get back at it more than ever this offseason. '23 is going
I saw the Lokombo post. He clearly didn’t like being benched but he just wasn’t his old selfSammyGreene wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 9:41 pmLots of good stuff from Lions players on social media the last couple days including Rourke’s first Instagram post in about 8 months reflecting on the highs and lows of the season while others are at crossroads as Butler seeks a big pay raise and then there’s Bo Lokombo on Twitter:
