Do as I say, not as I do. It should very well be the new mantra of the National Football League. The NFL has tried its best to defend its brand integrity and uphold its platform as one of the kings of entertainment. In theory, no player is greater than the shield. The well-being of…

The Detroit Lions are in a strange position that we haven’t seen them in for quite a while: they don’t really have many glaring holes on the roster. That is thanks to general manager Brad Holmes’ extremely active free agency period where he was able to attack the team’s biggest need at cornerback, while bringing…
In a fresh 7-round mock draft, do the Detroit Lions react to a sudden potential need with a bold move? You don’t need national analysts to tell you that the Detroit Lions are in a good position heading into the 2023 NFL Draft, but it’s nice when that sentiment gets confirmed. With four of the

There’s no doubt David Montgomery is a talent upgrade over Jamaal Williams for the Detroit Lions, but he appears to be an instant culture fit too. The Detroit Lions made a quick and surprising pivot to sign David Montgomery when talks to re-sign Jamaal Williams went nowhere. It’s an undeniable talent upgrade. But the question
The Detroit Lions didn’t make the playoffs last year, but they were playing games that mattered in the last few weeks of the season and it’s not often that we see that. The Lions went 9-8 and are a popular dark-horse contender as we approach the 2023 season. Detroit made some key additions in free
On Friday, the league announced that Detroit Lions Jameson Williams was among five NFL players—four Lions players—who have been suspended for sports gambling. Williams suspension is for six games because he gambled on non-NFL games while at a team facility. Others, including Lions’ C.J. Moore and Quintez Cephus, were given indefinite suspensions, because they gambled…
The NFL dropped a bombshell on Friday morning, announcing the suspensions of four Detroit Lions players and one Washington Commander for gambling. In Detroit, that meant that safety C.J. Moore and wide receiver Quintez Cephus were handed indefinite suspensions because they were found to have gambled on NFL games. The Lions responded by releasing both…
Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams will be suspended for the first six games of the 2023 season, so how much pay will he lose for his mistake?

Back in 2021, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes knew as early as the NFL owners meetings the handful of players he was comfortable taking with the seventh-overall pick.

An ESPN report says the Philadelphia Eagles are hiring former Lions head coach Matt Patricia, but there’s not much evidence that it has actually happened yet. After an ill-fated season as the New England Patriots’ offensive play caller, former Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia is looking for a new job. On Thursday, ESPN’s Adam
Once upon a time, drafting a running back high in the draft was commonplace in the NFL. It was expected, and most of the time—necessary. For instance, the most celebrated player in Detroit Lions history, Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders, was drafted third overall in the 1989 NFL Draft. And from the moment…
If I’m going to steal somebody’s ride, it’s certainly not going to be one from a 300-pound offensive lineman. That’s what Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker says happened outside Detroit Metro Airport when he returned to the Motor City this week. The lineman apparently ordered an Uber and as he walked outside to get…
It apparently became a source of concern among Lions fans, but Jameson Williams was indeed at voluntary offseason work this week. As the Detroit Lions released daily photos from this week’s start of voluntary offseason work, apparently the absence of wide receiver Jameson Williams in any of said pictures was noticed. That has only further
The position has clearly been devalued in the NFL, but Lions general manager Brad Holmes doesn’t buy the notion of depressed running back value in the draft no matter what. No running backs were taken in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The last running back taken in the top-20 overall was Saquon
Not that he would say anything otherwise publicly, but Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes conveyed positive thoughts about Jalen Carter’s pre-draft visit. Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes closed his opening statement to his pre-draft press conference on Thursday on a fairly humorous note, but with a grain of truth. Brad Holmes to wrap
