When we last left Graham Glasgow, he was leaving the Detroit Lions under frustrating circumstances. His level of play was still high, but the Lions—under abrasive head coach Matt Patricia—were not making Glasgow feel wanted. Not only did the Lions utilize an unorthodox guard rotation that saw Glasgow in and out of the lineup, but…
Prior to NFL free agency beginning, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes had everyone thinking that things would largely be quiet once again coming out of Allen Park. And if you were going off of how what he was saying and how he operated the last two off-seasons—I would have understood that thought process. However,…

According to a report from his agent, kicker Michael Badgley is re-signing with the Detroit Lions, terms were not disclosed at this time.

After the Detroit Lions re-signed Alex Anzalone on Monday, fans have been clamoring for his contract details. The 2023 free agency period has seen a lot of money thrown at linebackers—arguably the biggest increase in funds for any position since last season—and fans wanted to know if general manager Brad Holmes made a good or…
One of the more unexpected moves the Detroit Lions made in the opening week of NFL free agency was moving on from well-loved and highly-productive running back Jamaal Williams and turning the keys over to former Bears back David Montgomery. Williams was not only an emotional leader on the team, but the team liked him…
David Montgomery would never say it, but in his four years with the Chicago Bears, he never had the opportunity to play with an elite offensive line. In fact, I think it may be fair to say that he’s never played behind a good offensive line. Though Chicago did rank fifth in PFF’s run block…

It’s official, Jamaal Williams is headed for New Orleans after two really fun years with the Detroit Lions. In his place is a very intriguing new Lion in former Bears running back David Montgomery. The hardest part about all of this is that Williams was such a fun guy and so easy to love, but…
Georgia defensive Jalen Carter has been hailed as one of, if not the best player in the 2023 NFL Draft class. A dominating player at Georgia, Carter, by most accounts, has been the best player in Athens for the last two seasons. Several would argue even better than last year’s No. 1 overall pick Travon…
After the Detroit Lions agreed to terms with running back David Montgomery, the writing was on the wall for free agent Jamaal Williams. On Wednesday evening, the inevitable became true. According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Williams is signing a three-year deal with the New Orleans Saints.
During his time in Chicago, new Detroit Lions’ running back David Montgomery had no shortage of highlight-worthy plays. From making a defender miss in the alley to shrugging off multiple tacklers on his way to a big gain, Montgomery has the ability to turn a good play into a great play. It’s something opposing defenses…
