Pride of Detroit

It remains to be seen whether the Detroit Lions will add to their pass rush with another signing of a defensive end, but it’s clear that fans want another one. It’s a fair thing to want, as Detroit’s pass rush undeniably struggled last year toward the end of last year. At that point, the Lions…

With the first few waves of free agency beyond us now, all that is mostly remaining are minor depth signings for each team. Sure, there are still some big names like Von Miller, Calais Campbell, Teven Jenkins, and Charles Omenihu out there, but most moves made from here on out will address each team’s depth.

The Detroit Lions announced on Monday that they have re-signed defensive end Mitchell Agude. The news is a mild surprise because Agude was an exclusive rights free agent at the beginning of the year. That means the Lions had the option to tender him, and Agude would only have two options: sign the minimum-salary one-year…

The Detroit Lions have watched the first week of free agency go by and made a good number of signings and re-signings. Regardless of the roster assembled, a sentiment has appeared among a contingent of fans that there is something just not there. Something picking at the back of the brain, something missing.

Sometimes a little perspective is good for the soul. While Detroit Lions fans have offered their opinions on how they have approached free agency for the past week, sometimes they (myself included) can be a little too narrow-focused. It’s easy to get caught up in your own problem and not see how it compares to…

As the Detroit Lions head into the second week of the 2025 free agency period, they have 66 players under contract, leaving 24 open spots on their 90-man roster. To see how the Lions might fill those final roster spots, we looked back at the Lions’ last four offseasons of roster building in Detroit.

The first wave of NFL free agency is done, and while a few more moves will surely trickle in over the coming weeks, many eyes will turn to the NFL Draft. Yet before we turn the page too quickly, let us examine the week of contracts. The Detroit Lions made a fair number of signings,…

When it comes to things that new Detroit Lions cornerback D.J. Reed is hoping to bring to his new team, the veteran said most things cornerbacks would. He’s eager to cover, loves playing man-to-man, and in true Detroit Lions fashion—he wants to get his nose dirty in the run game, as well.

This is a slightly unusual edition of the Detroit Lions Mock Draft Roundup, as the 2025 free agency period kicked off in the middle of the week. As a result, some mock drafts were published ahead of all the action, while others were published with some information on the teams’ updated rosters.

The first—and arguably second—waves of free agency are basically done by this point. It may have only been a week since free agency opened up, but the NFL moves quickly. Most of the big name players are off the board, and teams have filled up a big part of their 90-man rosters.

In their first major offseason acquisition of 2025, the Detroit Lions signed free agent cornerback D.J. Reed to a three-year contract worth up to $48 million. Following the departure of cornerback Carlton Davis III to the New England Patriots, Reed should take over a starting outside cornerback job for the Lions in 2025 and beyond.

Late on Thursday night, the Detroit Lions came to an agreement with free agent quarterback Kyle Allen, and on Friday his signing became official. Admittedly, the signing caught me off guard, as the Lions already had three quarterbacks under contract: Jared Goff, Hendon Hooker, and Jake Fromm. Detroit has carried both three and four quarterbacks…

According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Lions are signing tight end Kenny Yeboah to a one-year deal. Yeboah has been in the NFL for four years after splitting his college career at Temple and Ole Miss. He went undrafted in 2021 and has spent all four seasons with the New…

The Detroit Lions continue to add and re-sign players to their roster, with the latest news being the return of wide receiver Tim Patrick on a one-year deal that could reach “up to” $4 million. Let’s take a look at how Patrick’s re-signing will impact the Lions roster now and in the future.

On Thursday afternoon, free agent wide receiver Tim Patrick posted to his Instagram story a shirt with the words, “I ONLY WANT TO WORK WITH THE LIONS” on it. It was unclear if this was wishful thinking on Patrick’s part or a sign that the Detroit Lions had agreed upon a re-signing with the veteran…

Everything happens for a reason. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. There are no mistakes, just lessons. Some may call them cliches, others find truth in phrases like these. Over on the Glue Guys Podcast, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff said he’s still searching for potential life lessons from the team’s Super Bowl dreams…

New Detroit Lions linebacker Grant Stuard life has not exactly been a fairy tale. As detailed by The Athletic’s Zac Keefer, he battled through a tough childhood. His father was in and out of jail, and his mother was battling a crippling drug addiction throughout his adolescence. In short, his personal life was chaotic and…

It’s still odd to hear the words come from an outside, but the Detroit Lions are a national brand for fans and players. In his first press conference as a member of the Lions, free agent signing Roy Lopez mentioned that much of the appeal of signing in Detroit was to be a part of…

The Detroit Lions have spent a good portion of their offseason molding their linebacker core, re-signing six defenders and adding one from outside the organization. The new face in the linebacker locker room will be Grant Stuard, formerly of the Colts, who signed a one-year deal with Detroit on the first official day of free…

One of the biggest questions facing the Detroit Lions this free agency was whether they would be able to retain 2021 second-round pick Levi Onwuzurike. With the 27-year-old defender coming off his best season and the defensive tackle market skyrocketing, many projections had Onwuzurike commanding $10-15 million a year—which would almost certainly be outside of…
