Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud declared for the 2023 NFL Draft on Monday, and the Detroit Lions should be jumping for joy that he did. Monday is the deadline for college players with eligibility left to declare for the 2023 NFL Draft, and among the last big-name question marks was Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud.

Jared Goff had a nice closing stretch and a solid season on the whole, but how did that translate to fantasy football production this year? Jared Goff closed the 2021 season, of course his first as a Detroit Lion, on a nice run. The question was if he could carry that into the 2022 campaign,

As Wild Card Weekend wraps up on Monday night, the Detroit Lions should have an eye on these four 2023 free agents as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Dallas Cowboys. The Detroit Lions are into their offseason now, after narrowly missing out on making the playoffs. The future is bright though, and 2023

The 2022 campaign was a disappointment for Lions running back D’Andre Swift, but he has to leave it behind as he moves toward a pivotal season in his career. There was plenty of breakout buzz for Lions running back D’Andre Swift heading into this season, and he set a lofty goal for himself. In Week

The Detroit Lions once again have two first-round picks in this year’s draft, and here are three potential combinations that would work well. In the 2022 NFL Draft, the Lions took defensive end Aidan Hutchinson second overall and traded up to No. 12 overall to draft wide receiver Jameson Williams. Hutchinson was as advertised as

Technically he was a repeat offender, but the fine the NFL levied on Lions running back Jamaal Williams for his Week 18 touchdown celebrations is still absolutely ridiculous. In Week 18 against his former team, Lions running back Jamaal Williams scored twice to set the new franchise record for rushing touchdowns in a season. He

The Detroit Lions don’t feel like a great fit for DeAndre Hopkins, but at least one set of hypothetical odds has them among a set of teams who are named specifically. As the Arizona Cardinals head into a reset, with a new general manager and a new head coach coming, they will reportedly try to

The Detroit Lions are building something players want to be part of, and DJ Chark is just the latest who wants to re-sign. After he signed his one-year deal with the Lions last offseason, wide receiver DJ Chark said he turned down a couple multi-year offers and instead chose Detroit based on a culture he

There were some questionable calls in the Seahawks-Rams game in Week 18, and it has basically been confirmed the Detroit Lions got screwed. Ingrained in the “Same Old Lions” narrative is the idea the Detroit Lions also battle the officials. If a bad call can go against the Lions, it just does–seemingly automatically. The “you

The future looks incredibly bright in Detroit under Dan Campbell, and for the first time in years, there’s real optimism around the Lions. Caesars Sportsbook is celebrating Detroit’s special season with a sensational new Michigan promo: a risk-free bet of up to $1,250! You can bet on whatever you’d like and it’ll be refunded in

Former Lions head coach Jim Caldwell is in some demand for interviews, but he reportedly turned down an interview with the Washington Commanders. Former Lions head coach Jim Caldwell has surfaced again on the interview circuit this year, taking meetings with the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos this week. Despite being out of coaching since

The Detroit Lions won’t be playing this weekend themselves, but these five former Lions are in the Wild Card Round and will be worth watching. A year ago right now, most (if not all) Detroit Lions were rooting for former quarterback Matthew Stafford to get the playoff monkey of his back in the Wild Card

The 2022 AP All-Pro team is out, and Kalif Raymond is the only Detroit Lions player to make it. On Friday, the Associated Press announced its NFL first and second team All-Pro squads for 2022. The Detroit Lions were almost completely snubbed, with only wide receiver Kalif Raymond earning second team honors for his work

Lions safety Tracy Walker was sidelined for the team’s second half surge, but he appears to be making very good progress from his torn Achilles. Achilles’ tears have been a prominent injury for the Detroit Lions over the last couple seasons. In Week 3 this season against the Minnesota Vikings, safety Tracy Walker became the

The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly planning to trade wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but the Detroit Lions don’t seem a particularly good fit. If there was a “signature win” for the Detroit Lions in a 3-13-1 2021 season, it was definitely the 30-12 beatdown of the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15. Since that game, the two

Jared Goff is locked in as the Detroit Lions starting quarterback in 2023, but what could a contract extension look like? It was not an overstatement to suggest the 2022 season was a pivotal one in the career of Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff. Regardless of his long-term future in Detroit, he needed to play
