Pride of Detroit

It never hurts to get some positive PR for your football team at the onset of free agency, especially when it comes from a Hall of Fame player who’s “excited just to be around the team again.” Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson was a guest on the ‘Keyshawn, JWill & Max Show’ on…

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has never been one for big spending in free agency. Whether it was part of the nature of a rebuild or part of Holmes’ philosophy, the Lions have been committed since the arrival of Holmes and Dan Campbell to building this team through the draft as opposed to free…

The Detroit Lions made a splash on the offensive side of the ball Tuesday night when they signed running back David Montgomery away from the division rival Chicago Bears. At just 25 years old, Montgomery was a 51-game starter for the Bears and currently sits sixth on the all-time franchise rushing yards list for Chicago.…

The Detroit Lions struck again in the free agency market, finding another cornerback to add necessary competition to one of their weakest positions. After agreeing to terms with Cameron Sutton on Monday, the Lions have come to a deal with former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley on a one-year deal.

According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions are signing cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (formerly of the San Francisco 49ers) to a one-year contract worth $6 million. Moseley is an outside corner who went undrafted in 2018 and signed with the 49ers, and worked his way into a part-time starting role in 2019.…

While the Detroit Lions did agree to terms with former Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton, most of the first day of the tampering period was spent taking care of their own. The Lions began the day with a press conference for the recently-re-signed Isaiah Buggs, quickly followed that up by re-signing Craig Reynolds and tendering five…

Monday signaled the beginning of the tampering period, and the Detroit Lions struck quickly. By agreeing to sign former Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton, they kicked off free agency with a bang, but it was also just one move alongside the decision to re-sign two key free agents of their own. The Lions are also bringing…

The Detroit Lions have reportedly re-signed starting MIKE linebacker Alex Anzalone to a three-year contract, bringing him back for the third consecutive season. Anzalone had his fair share of struggles his first season in Detroit, but he seemed to have turned a corner in his second year in Detroit. Anzalone tends to get a bad…

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes made arguably the biggest free agent signing of his tenure in the Motor City when he signed cornerback Cameron Sutton to a 3-year, 33-million contract. Sutton entered the NFL in 2017, as a third-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He spent his first four seasons as a multi-versatile reserve,…

And so it begins. King Théoden said it prior to the Battle at Helm’s Deep, and I am saying it now as the legal tampering period, or “pre-agency”, kicks off today, March 13 2023, at 12 p.m. ET. The Detroit Lions have begun what is sure to be a busy few days by re-signing defensive…

The Los Angeles Rams have reportedly agreed to a deal with the Miami Dolphins that will send All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Dolphins in exchange for a 2023 third-round pick and tight end Hunter Long, per NFL Network.

The league calendar flips to a new page on March 15, and when it does the NFL ushers in open season on free agency for its players. Of course, there’s the tampering period before then, and chances for teams to re-sign their own players previous to that. While the draft may loom large in the…

The Detroit Lions have seemingly been an incredibly unlucky team when it comes to injuries as of late. Some of the team’s biggest investments have struggled to stay on the field. The Lions recently handed both Charles Harris and Romeo Okwara significant contracts. Harris missed 11 games last year, while Okwara has played in just…

Now that the NFL Combine has concluded, teams are getting closer to finalizing their draft boards as more information is available to them via athletic testing and formal interviews. Normally, athletes testing at the Combine is more “checking off the boxes” and validating what we’ve all seen on film rather than gaining any new ground-breaking…

When ranking the Detroit Lions’ 2023 top unrestricted free agents, running back Jamaal Williams was at the top of the list. Williams was one of the Lions’ emotional leaders on offense and is coming off a career year that saw him exceed 1,000 rushing yards and a league-leading 17 rushing touchdowns—a Lions single-season record.

Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was in Japan to present the “Best Continuing Series” award at the 2023 Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Tokyo with Chiefs wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster on Saturday, March 4. While Jamaal Williams (a.k.a. Swagg Kazekage) is widely recognized as the most hardcore Lions anime fan, maybe Hutchinson is up there…
