Pardon us, if we’ve seen this before. Another trade, another Detroit Lions GM bringing in a player from the organization from which he came. We know how things went last time.

The Detroit Lions had a slow start to free agency, choosing to release several players from the previous regime instead of adding many.

After more than six weeks, it’s finally here. Jared Goff can finally become a member of the Detroit Lions as soon as 4 p.m. Wednesday, when the NFL’s new league year kicks off. That means the Jan. 30 deal that sent Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams for Goff and three draft picks can become

One year ago, the sports world stopped. We thought it’d be a minute. It would seem like forever. Only now are things, sort of, getting back to normal. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s latest state order allows up to 750 fans at Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings home games, and up to 1,000 once the Detroit Tigers start
Day 2 of the free agent negotiating period was a slow one. As of late Tuesday night, the Detroit Lions still had not come to an agreement with another team’s free agent. That’s not a bad thing. Free agency is fool’s gold. About the only time it’s worthwhile is if Peyton Manning or Tom Brady

When Josh Hill told his oldest son he was being released by the only NFL team he’s played for, the New Orleans Saints, he was greeted with surprising enthusiasm. “He was excited,” Hill said Tuesday. “He said, ‘Let’s go somewhere where there’s snow.

In his first offseason as general manager, Brad Holmes has opted for the slash-and-burn approach. The NFL Network reports Tuesday that the team cut backup quarterback Chase Daniel and defensive tackle Danny Shelton, meaning the Detroit Lions have released nearly every veteran on the roster who offered a chance to create meaningful cap space.

Day 2 of the free agent negotiating period is here and since the New England Patriots are once again digging into their bottomless pit of money to try and solve their roster problems, I figure I’d start today’s running notes and observations column by asking which approach do you prefer to free agency: the Patriots’ money-solves-everything plan
