Free agency hasn’t even started, and the Detroit Lions may have already made their most important move of the offseason. Last month after taking a few interviews, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson opted to pull his name out of head coaching consideration, and the Lions reportedly rewarded him with a significant raise. Johnson is considered one…

The Super Bowl is over, meaning it is officially draft season for NFL fans (though perhaps it has been draft season for a while in Detroit). However, for those interested in consuming some actual football, there will be no shortage of content this NFL offseason, with multiple leagues scheduled to play this year.
There was a brief concern that Detroit Lions assistant head coach/running backs coach Scottie Montgomery wasn’t going to be with the team for more than a couple of weeks. After the Lions announced his hiring last Wednesday, Montgomery interviewed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their offensive coordinator job this week.
If you know anything about Detroit Lions’ coach Dan Campbell, you know he is a one-of-a-kind type of personality. From his opening press conference to various soundbites from his tenure as a coach—Campbell keeps you on your toes. Which is why this story from Lions’ star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown isn’t really that surprising when…
If you’ve been following along with Erik Schlitt’s excellent Mock Draft Roundup series for every Saturday of the last 10 weeks, you’ve likely familiarized yourself with the most commonly mocked players to the Detroit Lions at both 6 and 18 overall. That first pick is typically either a quarterback or a defender like Clemson defensive…
For the most part, the NFC disappointed in 2022. At the bottom of the conference, the Bears, Cardinals, and Rams all finished as bottom-six teams in the league. At the top of the conference, there appeared to be a lot of pretenders. The Vikings and Cowboys turned out to be worse than their record suggested,…
The Detroit Lions have 28 players from their 2022 roster set to become free agents in 2023 (18 unrestricted, 10 restricted), and we are covering them all throughout the month of February.

Super Bowl 57 came and went with spectacle, fanfare, and of course, controversy, like seemingly every big game these days. The football was fun, up until the last two minutes. I wasn’t a fan of the halftime show, but there seems to be a spectrum of opinions on that. One thing we can all unite…
Not many teams in the NFL finished hotter than the Detroit Lions. In the final 10 weeks of the regular season, only the Bengals (8-0), 49ers (9-0), and Chiefs (9-1) finished better than Detroit’s 8-2 record—and all three of those teams ended up making the Conference Championship round of the playoffs.
The Detroit Lions found themselves hampered by their defensive bugaboos more often than not in 2023. While the second half of the season saw a proper turnaround and was marked by fine performances from their rookie stars, there’s a long way to go if the Lions want to look to their defense and trust that…
Former Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell is officially back in the NFL. On Tuesday, the Carolina Panthers announced that Caldwell has been hired as their senior assistant under new head coach Frank Reich. According to the announcement from the Panthers, Caldwell will report directly to Reich and work with all three phases of the game:…

It was just five days ago that the Detroit Lions announced they hired Scottie Montgomery as their new assistant head coach/running backs coach. Now, Montgomery is getting extra attention across the league. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced on Monday night that they have interviewed Montgomery for their vacant offensive coordinator position.
Former Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson has somehow become the villain in some Lions fans’ eyes after the team traded him at the 2022 deadline. Perhaps some were frustrated that it didn’t work out as well as it could have in Detroit. Some were miffed by comments he made that could be construed as…
Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has gotten a lot of praise around the NFL. He was the runner-up for Assistant Coach of the Year, and he may have very well won himself a head coaching gig in the NFL had he not made the decision to return to Detroit.
It comes as little surprise that Super Bowl 57 was mired in an officiating controversy. No matter what commissioner Roger Goodell says, officiating continues to be inconsistent and incredibly impactful on the game of football. At this point, it almost seems inevitable that at least one call or non-call will be hotly debated when the…
The 2022-23 season has come to a close, and that means all 32 NFL teams are on to the offseason. As we have come to know, the NFL is a year-round business, and just because the season is over, there are still plenty of important dates on the calendar over the next several months.
The Super Bowl is a cause for both celebration and mourning. It’s the biggest sporting event in America, and surrounds the sport we all love so much. Lately, the actual game has matched the stakes and stage of the Super Bowl, but we’re not always so lucky. Either way, the event has been so populated…
It appears Aaron Glenn watch is finally over. A week ago, Glenn was reportedly notified that he was no longer in the running for the Arizona Cardinals job (which remains unfilled at the moment). Now, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the one remaining head coaching gig available—the Indianapolis Colts job—has narrowed its candidates to one.…
