As Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers prepares to leave his darkness retreat, I’m guessing he’s not going to like some of the headlines he reads upon his emergence.

The 2023 NFL Combine begins on Monday, February 27, with prospects arriving in their positional groups. Over the first few days, players will get medical checks, meet with NFL teams, and take the podium to answer questions from the media. Then on Thursday, March 2, the league will start four days of televised coverage of…
One common strategy of Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes through his first two years is to hand free agents a one-year, prove-it deal. This way, the Lions aren’t committed long-term to a newcomer, but if they end up becoming a strong contributor, Detroit has a leg up on signing them the following year.

The Detroit Lions have made several coaching changes this offseason, although it appears they will likely retain all three coordinators.

Something is brewing among the Detroit Lions specialists in San Diego, and signs point to the Lions turning one of the league’s best punters into an even more dangerous weapon. All three Lions specialists have spent the week in San Diego training with longtime Chargers kicker Nick Novak, founder of Novak Kicking & Consulting. In…

As we inch our way closer to the NFL Draft, one of the hot names linked to the Detroit Lions in the first round is Texas running back Bijan Robinson. It makes sense considering the Lions only have D’Andre Swift and Jermar Jefferson currently under contract for 2023, and I wouldn’t be surprised if one…
Put some respect on Jared Goff’s name. That’s what NFL.com’s Marc Sessler is doing with his post-Super Bowl quarterback rankings. No. 16 comes in well above his jersey number, landing at eighth overall. This is a 15-spot leap from his 2022 ranking, which was 23rd for those of you who don’t feel like math-ing.
The XFL kicks off this weekend, helping ensure that this NFL offseason won’t have a football-less weekend for several months to come. This is the third attempt at the XFL, after its initial season fizzled out after a single season and the 2020 version was cut short due to COVID-19.

However, don’t tell that to Detroit Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes.

Free agency hasn’t even started, and the Detroit Lions may have already made their most important move of the offseason. Last month after taking a few interviews, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson opted to pull his name out of head coaching consideration, and the Lions reportedly rewarded him with a significant raise. Johnson is considered one…
The Super Bowl is over, meaning it is officially draft season for NFL fans (though perhaps it has been draft season for a while in Detroit). However, for those interested in consuming some actual football, there will be no shortage of content this NFL offseason, with multiple leagues scheduled to play this year.
There was a brief concern that Detroit Lions assistant head coach/running backs coach Scottie Montgomery wasn’t going to be with the team for more than a couple of weeks.
