The policy in question As has been widely reported, the Lions’ decision to seek repayment from Ragnow follows a precedent that stretches back decades.
The organization took similar steps with Hall of Famers Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson when they retired early, creating tension in both cases before relationships were eventually repaired.

Detroit has consistently chosen to enforce that stance.
