The cap has gone up so we will have to see what other LBs get. Shephard is the coordinator now and coached Barnes since he was drafted so they would be better off staying in house. 

This is part of it too. Everything will sound like a lot in relation to our reference, which is past contracts under different cap structures.

i dont mind the lions rewarding their own.  they did it with anzalone and i thought it was dumb, but it worked out.  barnes has improved every year so far so they think that will continue.

it probably could have been a little lower with a little less guaranteed money, but its not outrageous.

Feels like a lot for a player that struggles to get home on a roster where’s he’s behind both Anzalone and Campbell, but what do I know.

He plays a different position than those two, he was playing more in a SAM role before he got injured, so I think they see a still young player that has some pass rushing chops. Not a lot of sacks but you could see the improvements in his game before the injury.

Also, as has been mentioned, the cap is going up significantly so you can't compare this to previous deals.
