The Detroit Lions have added a little bit of experience to their tight end depth chart, signing Garrett Griffin. For better or worse, the Detroit Lions have mostly re-signed their own free agents thus far. But they’ve made a second external addition now, with NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero first to report Thursday they have a

The Detroit Lions did not give a restricted free agent tender to No. 3 quarterback David Blough, but they’re re-signing him. It’s a lock that Jared Goff will be back in 2022, but it was fair to assume or expect the Detroit Lions would do something to change the depth chart behind him from 2021.

The Detroit Lions have their first notable loss of 2022 free agency, as linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin is headed to the Houston Texans. At the outset of free agency, the Detroit Lions have placed priority on re-signings. But they’ve now lost someone, with NFL insider Jordan Schultz reporting linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin has signed a two-year deal,

There are obviously still moves to be made for everyone, but the Detroit Lions have the most players under contract in the NFL right now. Through the first few days of free agency, the Detroit Lions have very clearly prioritized retaining their own with one outside signing, notable or otherwise (DJ Chark). There is room

The Detroit Lions have entered free agency with a conservative approach, as general manager Brad Holmes has refused to overspend. NFL free agency has started, and the Detroit Lions have been conservative through the frenzy. General manager Brad Holmes has clearly priorited retaining players, with only one outside signing entering Thursday (wide receiver DJ Chark).

You can talk yourself into it making somes sense, if you want to, but the Detroit Lions should not even think about trading for Baker Mayfield. As the Detroit Lions look for some kind of upgrade in quarterback play, in 2022 and/or beyond, it’s not necessarily completely ridiculous or a completely new idea. But Mike

Credit: Mike Stobe/Getty Images As they look for free agent cornerbacks who won’t require breaking the bank, these three make real sense for the Detroit Lions. The Detroit Lions have Amani Oruwariye (six interceptions in 2021) and little else at cornerback. Injuries didn’t help last season, and 2020 No. 3 overall pick Jeff Okudah seems

DJ Chark is in line for a nice role in the Detroit Lions passing game, but will that translate to fantasy football goodness? The Detroit Lions have made one outside signing thus far in free agency, but it was fairly notable as they’ll bring in wide receiver DJ Chark. He’s an ideal match for what

At first glance a one-year deal would seem to make the details fairly cut and dry, but no so much for the one-year deal between the Detroit Lions and DJ Chark. The Detroit Lions practically kicked off Day 2 of the NFL free agent “tampering period” Tuesday with news of a one-year agreement with wide

After missing out on at least one prominent target at the position, the Detroit Lions can and should be in on these four free agent safeties. Safety stood as a position of clear need for the Detroit Lions entering free agency. Re-signing Tracy Walker was always the most likely outcome, but they could still sign

Janoris Jenkins is now available, and in many ways he looks like a nice fit for the Detroit Lions. As the Tennessee Titans make some moves to clear cap space, Janoris Jenkins became a financial casualty on Tuesday morning accordin to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The 33-year old cornerback will now hit the market after just

The Detroit Lions have signed a wide receiver in free agency, bringing DJ Chark in on a deal that works well for both sides. After sitting out of major moves on the first day of the NFL free agency frenzy, the Detroit Lions have made a move to kickoff Day 2. According to Ian Rapoport

As they survey a fast-thinning landscape of free agent wide receivers, should the Detroit Lions be interested in T.Y. Hilton? The first day of 2022 NFL free agency, in practical if not official terms, brought the typical volume of news about agreements on deals. At the wide receiver position, deals big and small have thinned

The free agent wide receiver market is thinning quickly, but the Detroit Lions should still avoid Marquez Valdes-Scantling. What once looked like a fairly deep free agent class of wide receivers has thinned quickly, with franchise tags and some deals announced on Monday. The Detroit Lions are left to pick from those thinning options, and

Coming off a rebound season under the new regime, the Detroit Lions are bringing safety Tracy Walker back on a three-year deal. After being misused by the previous coaching regime in 2020, and he’d hardly be alone in that, Tracy Walker led the Lions in tackles last season with 108. It was a well-timed rebound
