We’ve officially reached the part of the offseason where teams are making the releases that make you go ”what?” Earlier this week, the Titans released their starting left tackle Taylor Lewan and their leading receiver Robert Woods. Those are big in their way, but a much bigger one happened on Thursday when it was announced…
One of my favorite things to do when visiting other stadiums around the NFL is to see which jerseys are being worn. Is it the superstar quarterback? Maybe the longtime defensive captain? A team legend that hasn’t been on the field in over 20 years? I know that last one certainly applies to the Detroit…
According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Detroit Lions are in the process of giving defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn a contract extension. Per Fowler, the deal is not done yet, but it’s expected to get done soon and should extend his deal for “multiple years.” Because coaching contracts are typically not made public,…
According to a report from Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Lions and Michael Brockers have agreed to part ways in 2023. Brockers’ official release is expected on Friday. This was an expected move from the Lions given how Brockers’ 2022 season played out. After starting the first five games of the…
Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is one of two Detroit Lions to make PFF’s top 101 players of 2022 list. The list came out earlier in the week — the analytics website releasing the first portion of the top 101 players who performed the best in their respective positions in 2022.

It was quite a shock when we learned that Detroit Lions assistant head coach/running backs coach Duce Staley was leaving the team for the same position with the Carolina Panthers. Staley had been one of the more well-respected members of the Lions coaching staff, and after only two years with the team, there were no…
For all intents and purposes, the NFL offseason is underway. Even though the Super Bowl for the 2022 season is less than two weeks in the rearview, oddsmakers have already established the outlook for the 2023 season—and the Detroit Lions have the 11th best odds at claiming the Lombardi Trophy next season.

Not long ago, football fans around the world would all collectively gasp when their team went for it on fourth down in any non-traditional scenario. Going for it on your own side of the field? Unheard of. Running multiple fake-punts in one season? Are you in the MAC? Not in today’s NFL. Coaches are being…

We’re a little over the two year mark since the Detroit Lions traded long-time quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Rams for Jared Goff and some draft capital. At the time, there were a lot of mixed feelings for Lions fans. It sort of felt like getting out of a long-term relationship that felt like it…

It’s that time of year again! One of my favorite times of the year. It’s time to ruin your free agency dreams. It’s time for me to go out and search the social media world for the words “the Detroit Lions should sign ____” and then tell some of those people that they’re wrong. Let’s…
For the past year, Detroit Lions Hall of Fame receiver Calvin Johnson has made vague references to his relationship with his former team slowly improving. But on Tuesday during an interview with Jim Rome, Johnson made it sounds like the two sides are ready to bury the hatchet for good.

PFF released the first half of its list of top 101 players and right tackle Penei Sewell is coming in hot. Though free agency and the NFL draft are on the horizon, Pro Football Focus is taking a moment to look back and review the top 101 individual performances of 2022, regardless of position.
“Prove it” deals, short-term contracts, reclamation projects, young part-timers blossoming.
