Amon-Ra St. Brown has a terrific rookie season, but ESPN has credited him with the most catches in the league without a drop last season. After a slow start to his rookie season, Amon-Ra St. Brown was one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL down the stretch in 2021 (51 catches for

In a mock draft from ESPN’s Mike Tannenbaum, the Detroit Lions go bold, then take a quarterback, in the first round.

Re-signing Charles Harris, the potential emergence of Julian Okwara and the potential to

The Detroit Lions keep surfacing as a team people think makes sense for Baker Mayfield, but they’d be bailing the Browns out at this point. The Cleveland Browns made their bed with Baker Mayfield, and for sure ended his tenure with the team by trading for Deshaun Watson and signing Jacoby Brissett as protection against

It’s hardly a great revelation, but Lions general manager Brad Holmes sees the value in drafting a quarterback to work behind Jared Goff next season. Amid all the quarterback movement this offseason, the Detroit Lions were, as a practical matter, stuck with Jared Goff for the 2022 season. He played well late last season, but

It’s a mere formality, but Lions general manager Brad Holmes has essentially confirmed T.J. Hockenson’s fifth-year option will be picked up if it comes down to that.

The Detroit Lions could make a uniform change this year, but if a change is made it will wait until at least 2023. Under NFL rules, teams can make a uniform change every five years. That means the Detroit Lions could do so this year, having last done so in 2017. It was among the

The NFL Draft is quickly approaching. Before your team adds some new talent, make sure you’ve got your 2022 Detroit Lions Draft hat. New Era’s NFL Draft hats are usually hit and miss. Luckily, the 2022 version is way more hit. Which is why you’re going to want to pick up a Detroit Lions Draft

They were never a realistic destination, but team president Rod Wood confirmed the Lions did not seriously pursue a trade for Deshaun Watson. The Detroit Lions are looking for their next franchise quarterback, assuming Jared Goff doesn’t somehow show he is that guy next season. However that ultimately looks, they did not aggressively pursue a

The Detroit Lions have apparently started their “top-30” pre-draft visits, with a wide receiver out of the Big 12 Conference. NFL teams can start having prospects in for pre-draft visits, and the Detroit Lions have one scheduled with arguably the top cornerback in the draft–Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner.

If the Detroit Lions want to make sure they get Aidan Hutchinson, what would it take to trade up to No. 1 overall?

Even updated as they profess to be, ESPN’s unit grades for each NFL team shows how far the Detroit Lions have to go. By all accounts, albeit only one season in and now in a second offseason, the Detroit Lions are on the right track under the direction of general manager Brad Holmes and head

The Detroit Lions have been frequently linked to Aidan Hutchinson, but what if the talented edge rusher is gone at No. 2 overall? The Detroit Lions only nibbled in free agency. Most fans seem to get it, but others don’t. It’s clear the focus for adding impact talent will be the draft. For many, with the
