The Detroit Lions have a sizeable list of pending free agents, but before any of those names ink a new contract in Detroit or elsewhere, we could see a player or two get their existing deals axed. Cap causalities are an unfortunate yet important part of any offseason. The salary cap grows on an annual…

As the Detroit Lions head into the offseason, one of the biggest priorities for the front office will be to sign or extend their own players. Detroit has put an emphasis on rewarding their own players, and with six All-Pro players on the team, there needs to be a delicate balance of keeping your core…

Without a doubt, one of the most pivotal plays in the Detroit Lions’ Divisional Round loss to the Washington Commanders happened late in the first quarter on a third-and-1 play. The Lions had the ball at Washington’s 17-yard line, looking to build on their 7-3 lead. It was really the first and last time the…
