Pride of Detroit

The Detroit Lions aren’t moving away from Allen Park anytime soon, but they are in the early stages of considering a move. Team president Rod Wood told a small group of Lions reporters at the NFL owners meetings this week that he’s begun the search for another potential location for the team’s training facility, both…

As we inch closer to the upcoming NFL Draft, it’s time to move our attention to the linebacker position. The Detroit Lions addressed the position in free agency by re-signing LB Alex Anzalone to a three-year deal for $18.3 million ($9 million guaranteed). As explained by our own Erik Schlitt on the roster implications of…

The internet was all abuzz this week when Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell recalled a story about their draft process recently. Campbell was asked a question about how the Lions do character evaluations for the NFL Draft and what he needs to hear from someone to clear them from any serious character concerns. Campbell proceeded…

It has been said time and time again so far this offseason, but what a time it is to be a Detroit Lions fan. This time around, the Lions aren’t the “sneaky” pick, or a way for a national analyst to stir the pot—this time they are favored by Las Vegas to win the NFC…

The Detroit Lions reunion tour continues! After bringing back both guard Graham Glasgow and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin following them playing elsewhere, the Lions are signing another familiar name in free agency. Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Lions are signing wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. to a one-year, $3 million deal with incentives that can…

For decades upon decades, a certain portion of the Detroit Lions fanbase has carried a three-word phrase with them. “Sell. The. Team.” The Lions under Ford ownership has undeniably been one of the worst franchises in the NFL. Ever since William Clay Ford Sr. bought controlling ownership of the team in 1964, the Lions have…

Before this week, Detroit Lions fans were mostly left in the dark about why the team didn’t re-sign Jamaal Williams. Both sides were interested in getting a deal done, but it never happened. After the Lions shifted their focus to signing running back David Montgomery instead and Williams landed with the Saints, there appeared to…

The Detroit Lions were one of the most active teams at this year’s owners meetings when it comes to rule proposals for the 2023 season. As we outlined earlier this month, the Lions submitted four different proposals to be discussed at the meetings. You can read more about the Lions’ specific proposals here, but here…

We are less than a month away from the 2023 NFL Draft and we are pushing dangerously close to jumping the shark. On Tuesday, former New York Jets general manager turned ESPN analyst, Mike Tannenbaum, released his first mock draft of the 2023 season and it is full of twists, turns, and bold projections—including for…

The Detroit Lions are so hot right now. As if it wasn’t enough to ride an emotional wave at the end of the season—with a celebrated victory over the Green Bay Packers—the Lions are also cleaning up in free agency quite well, moving them up offseason power rankings and beginning to creep into Vegas odds…

According to a report from Justin Rogers of the Detroit News, the Detroit Lions will be bringing in Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter for a pre-draft visit. Carter represents one of the bigger enigmas of the 2023 NFL Draft. There is little doubt his talent on the field is worthy of the sixth overall pick.…

If you’ve followed the Detroit Lions closely in the past two years, you know that general manager Brad Holmes can get pretty excited when he lands the player he wants. We saw him jump and dance around when Detroit drafted Penei Sewell with Holmes’ first ever draft pick. The next year, we saw him get…

With the Detroit Lions in Arizona for the annual owners meetings, it’s yet another opportunity to see if the team will give any clues as to what they will do in next month’s NFL Draft. After an aggressive free agency period, the Lions’ strategy for the draft—in which they have the sixth and 18th picks—is…

If you’re an avid gamer, you may have noticed over the past two years that the Madden NFL Football video game franchise has left the head of the Detroit Lions looking a little strange. The depiction of coach Dan Campbell has been… unbecoming, to say the least. In fact, in our weekly Madden simulations, we…

We have made our selections for the general managers of our 2023 NFL Community Mock Draft. Thank you to everyone who entered and signed up. I had to make some tough calls, as we had a ridiculous amount of people who signed up. Unfortunately, I couldn’t give a spot to every active community member, but…

The 2023 Detroit Lions are slowly taking shape, and the image coming into focus is an exciting one. Growing expectations for the Lions also means more pressure on those in charge. Dan Campbell will surely look to take the next step in his head coaching career—a Coach of the Year nomination perhaps?—but his right-hand men…

Before free agency, Detroit Lions fans were fairly split on whether the team should consider drafting a quarterback early in this year’s draft. Some believed any time you can get an upgrade at quarterback, you should highly consider it—and with Jared Goff’s contract up in a couple of years, now could be an ideal time…

Our readers are familiar with the rave free agency reviews from analysts and players talking about Brad Holmes’ secondary makeover this offseason. Cameron Sutton and Emmanuel Moseley are both fine players, but C.J. Gardner-Johnson really put this free agent class over the top. Not only is he an amazing player on the field, it looks…

The 2023 NFL Draft has yet to arrive, but DraftKings isn’t waiting on setting expectations for the Detroit Lions upcoming season. On Saturday, DraftKings, the official sportsbook of SB Nation, rolled out their win totals for the 2023 NFL season, and the Detroit Lions have clearly raised the bar. Last year, the Lions win total…

The Detroit Lions offseason is humming along. With the first waves of free agency over, we’re now barreling toward the draft, where the Lions have two first-round picks. But we’re not that far off from actual football activities either. The XFL and USFL will fill up the time for actual games, but the Lions will…
