What we’ve known for more than six weeks is official: the Detroit Lions completed a trade Wednesday with the Los Angeles Rams, shipping out starting quarterback Matthew Stafford in exchange for another former No. 1 pick, quarterback Jared Goff, and future draft picks. In addition to Goff, the Lions will receive the Rams’ third-round pick this year and the
Jarrad Davis, Detroit Lions (Photo by Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports) The Detroit Lions are starting the business of rebuilding their team. The fact that they re-signed Romeo Okwara while letting Kenny Golladay walk says quite a bit. Some teams will make minimal changes this offseason. For others, this is the start of completely restructuring
Tony Franklin had a few things to get off his chest, so when he called Jared Goff in mid-January, after Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay started John Wolford over Goff in a playoff game then publicly cast Goff aside as quarterback in his postseason news conference, Franklin spent most of their hour on the
The beginning of this week served as a spark towards launching the offseason roster amendments and acquisitions for the Detroit Lions and other NFL teams now that the legal tampering period of free agency is finally upon us.

Add kicker to list of things that will be different in Detroit in 2021.

Prater, 36, is coming off one of his worst professional seasons, which saw him miss seven field goals
The Detroit Lions haven’t officially released Chase Daniel, but they’ve already reached an agreement with a new backup quarterback, coming to terms on a one-year deal with Tim Boyle. The agreement, originally reported by the NFL Network, was confirmed by a source familiar with the negotiations. Boyle has been quietly stashed within the division, spending
Subtract, subtract, subtract, subtract, subtract, then subtract some more. The Lions are subtracting players and salaries and mindsets. Drive past their Allen Park facility and you’re likely to see recycling bins overflowing with jerseys, shoes, playbooks and lightly used defensive players. GM Brad Holmes has made a ton of moves in less than two months
The Detroit Lions want to defeat Aaron Rodgers, so they signed his former backup quarterback at the start of the new league year. The Detroit Lions managed to finish last in the NFC North in 2020, while watching the Green Bay Packers coast to the NFC Championship Game. Not only that, but they saw quarterback
Detroit Lions fans have had a few weeks to get over the departure of quarterback Matthew Stafford in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams. The deal (bringing QB Jared Goff and picks to Detroit) was agreed to in late January, just after the team hired Brad Holmes as GM and Dan Campbell as head

The Detroit Lions added a quarterback on Day 1 of free agency, and it was not — officially, at least — Jared Goff. The Lions agreed to a one-year deal Wednesday with former Green Bay Packers backup Tim Boyle, a source told the Free press. NFL Network reported the deal is worth $2.5 million total,
A grand sendoff is a rare thing in professional sports. It’s even more unusual when it doesn’t involve a player or coach announcing their retirement. But Matthew Stafford’s imminent departure after 12 seasons as the Detroit Lions quarterback is being handled uniquely by a franchise that hasn’t always handled its high-profile breakups with dignity in
The Detroit Lions are getting some help along their defensive line, turning to a familiar trading partner to land it.

Kenny Golladay’s best contract offer actually came from the Detroit Lions, not in free agency. At the start of the NFL legal tampering period, pass-rushers and offensive linemen have flown off the free agency board. One position market that has moved rather slowly is at wide receiver.
