Cominsky agreed to restructure his contract with the Lions, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News Reports. Cominsky saw a drop in production from his 2022 numbers in 2023, recording 15 fewer pressures, along with two fewer sacks, despite playing two more games. The 28-year-old was due to be paid $5.1 million but agreed to a $2.1 million pay cut, bringing his 2024 cap hit down to $4.2 million, instead of $6.3 million.
Cominsky recorded 36 tackles, two sacks and one pass defended over 16 games in 2023. Cominsky finished the season with the second-most snaps among Lions defensive linemen behind Aidan Hutchinson while starting 11 of the 16 games Cominsky was available. While he is a solid player, the Lions finished with the ninth-fewest sacks (41) in 2023 largely due to a lack of production behind Hutchinson, who finished sixth in the league with 11.5 sacks. Cominsky seems to have a good chance to stick in Detroit in 2024 even though his potential release could open $4.6 million in cap space, but it would not be a surprise if the Lions look to find an upgrade during the offseason.
