The Detroit Lions slot into the upper third of the NFL cap spending for the 2022 season. As of July 2nd, the Lions have the 10th-highest cap obligation spending at $217.3 million.

Here is how the Lions rank in cap spending at each position group for the coming season. These are cap figures, not salary spending.
