After stepping into the first real oppportunity of his career last year, is Kalif Raymond in line for a full breakout in 2022? As the Detroit Lions had one wide receiver free agenc signing from last offseason not make it to the season on the roster (Breshad Perriman) and another get hurt in Week 1

With what their approach has been, PFF’s free agency grade for the Detroit Lions is as expected. Through the first week of free agency, the Detroit Lions have re-signed a bunch of guys with two outside signings in wide receiver DJ Chark and tight end Garrett Griffin. It’s not necessarily the wrong approach as general

Inside linebackers have found tough sledding on the free agent market so far, which presents an opportunity for the Detroit Lions. The Detroit Lions top two inside linebackers from 2021 were both unrestricted free agents this year. They re-signed Alex Anzalone, and Jalen Reeves-Maybin seemingly found a far better deal from the Houston Texans. Free

The Detroit Lions’ conservative approach to free agency has been good. But they still need to upgrade the quarterback position. The Detroit Lions refuse to be distracted from the course general manager Brad Holmes is leading them on. This is a team that’ll be built through the draft, not big spending in free agency. Holmes

After a breakthrough season with the Lions in 2021, Charles Harris wants to do even better after re-signing. After four seasons of showing himself as a first-round draft bust, Charles Harris signed a one-year “prove-it” deal with the Detroit Lions last offseason. And “prove-it” he did, with a career-high 7.5 sacks, 16 quarterback hits and

Through the first week of NFL free agency, for better or worse the Detroit Lions prioritized re-signing their own free agents. Wide receiver DJ Chark and tight end Garrett Griffin

The Detroit Lions have announced their 2022 coaching staff, with three new hires officially unveiled too. The Detroit Lions coaching staff didn’t have the turnover it could have had this offseason. Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn interviewed for two head coaching jobs, and defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant was a candidate for two defensive coordinator openings.

Robert Woods seems to be available, but can the Detroit Lions legitimately compete among multiple likely suitors to get him? The rich got a little bit richer again on Thursday, as the Los Angeles Rams agreed to a free agent deal with wide receiver Allen Robinson. They still want to bring back Odell Beckham Jr.,

Citing what he observed from afar last season, DJ Chark says he chose the Detroit Lions. Some free agent wide receivers have done quite well with multi-year deals this offseason (Christian Kirk, Allen Robinson, Russell Gage). DJ Chark was not one, signing a one-year, $10 million deal with the Detroit Lions. But coming off playing 

The Detroit Lions have added a little bit of experience to their tight end depth chart, signing Garrett Griffin. For better or worse, the Detroit Lions have mostly re-signed their own free agents thus far. But they’ve made a second external addition now, with NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero first to report Thursday they have a

The Detroit Lions did not give a restricted free agent tender to No. 3 quarterback David Blough, but they’re re-signing him. It’s a lock that Jared Goff will be back in 2022, but it was fair to assume or expect the Detroit Lions would do something to change the depth chart behind him from 2021.

The Detroit Lions have their first notable loss of 2022 free agency, as linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin is headed to the Houston Texans. At the outset of free agency, the Detroit Lions have placed priority on re-signings. But they’ve now lost someone, with NFL insider Jordan Schultz reporting linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin has signed a two-year deal,

There are obviously still moves to be made for everyone, but the Detroit Lions have the most players under contract in the NFL right now. Through the first few days of free agency, the Detroit Lions have very clearly prioritized retaining their own with one outside signing, notable or otherwise (DJ Chark). There is room

The Detroit Lions have entered free agency with a conservative approach, as general manager Brad Holmes has refused to overspend. NFL free agency has started, and the Detroit Lions have been conservative through the frenzy. General manager Brad Holmes has clearly priorited retaining players, with only one outside signing entering Thursday (wide receiver DJ Chark).

You can talk yourself into it making somes sense, if you want to, but the Detroit Lions should not even think about trading for Baker Mayfield. As the Detroit Lions look for some kind of upgrade in quarterback play, in 2022 and/or beyond, it’s not necessarily completely ridiculous or a completely new idea. But Mike

Credit: Mike Stobe/Getty Images As they look for free agent cornerbacks who won’t require breaking the bank, these three make real sense for the Detroit Lions. The Detroit Lions have Amani Oruwariye (six interceptions in 2021) and little else at cornerback. Injuries didn’t help last season, and 2020 No. 3 overall pick Jeff Okudah seems

DJ Chark is in line for a nice role in the Detroit Lions passing game, but will that translate to fantasy football goodness? The Detroit Lions have made one outside signing thus far in free agency, but it was fairly notable as they’ll bring in wide receiver DJ Chark. He’s an ideal match for what

At first glance a one-year deal would seem to make the details fairly cut and dry, but no so much for the one-year deal between the Detroit Lions and DJ Chark. The Detroit Lions practically kicked off Day 2 of the NFL free agent “tampering period” Tuesday with news of a one-year agreement with wide
