Success in the NFL is dependent on drafting well. Everyone has their misses, but overall, the teams that draft well tend to have

The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine can be an underestimated source of knowledge. General managers and head coaches can be coy, but some are much more candid with their intentions about what will happen in the offseason. Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes opted for honesty on Tuesday. After talking about the difficulty of finding quality

I’ve been covering the Detroit Lions since 2014. I’ve had to try to figure out three different general managers. Of all three of those guys, there hasn’t been one that it seems some media and some fans think they have figured out more than Brad Holmes. Some just think they know what he’s going to

It’s not what anyone saw coming. You had this dominating force that did everything you thought they could do to win it all and then when it came time to do it, it ended in a heartbreaking loss.  We’re talking about Cody Rhodes. Yes, we’re going full WWE in this story that will somehow tie

The 2025 NFL Combine is under way and the Detroit Lions are in town looking to find their players of the future. A lot has been said about what the Lions may want in the draft and pass rusher is definitely at the top of that list.  ESPN’s draft expert Mel Kiper had that in

One of Brad Holmes’ chief priorities this offseason is determining which of 31 free agents the Lions must re-sign. Several key defensive stars including Carlton Davis, Al-Quadin Muhammad, and Levi Onwuzerike are set to reach the open market this year. Unfortunately, with so many players hitting the free agent market, and the upcoming draft in

All UFL teams will be reporting to training camp this week and there is a large amount of guys that used to play for the Detroit Lions who are looking to continue their football careers in the springtime. Here are some of the guys on rosters:  Michigan Panthers OL Jake Burton Burton was with the

The Detroit Lions have a choice to make this offseason with their offensive line. On one hand, they have Kevin Zeitler hitting free agency and on the other, they have Graham Glasgow who is coming off a not-so-hot season and could be a cap casualty. Regardless of what they wind up doing, it’s agreed upon

Back in 2021, there was a healthy smattering of Detroit Lions fans who wanted to see their team take Justin Fields in the first round of the draft. The feeling at the time was that Jared Goff just wasn’t going to be the long-term answer for this team.  Ultimately the Lions went with Penei Sewell

NFL Draft expert Daniel Jeremiah held his annual pre-combine conference call on Thursday afternoon and we got a chance to ask him about the Detroit Lions‘ curiosity about players who present positional versatility and can do more than one thing.

Heading into free agency Arizona is in a good position to make additions to its roster with more than $70 million in cap space. One big area of need for the Cardinals to address this offseason is pass rush along the interior defensive line. Luckily for them, this is a good offseason to need a

The NFL’s best defenses are the ones that can consistently get after opposing quarterbacks. I mean, of the teams that finished the 2024 season in the top-10 of sack rate, seven of them made the playoffs. Including the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. There’s no surprise there, at all. While outside pressure has always been

Darius Slay spent years with the Detroit Lions before coming to Philadelphia. He was there during some tough years. From 2013 to 2019, Slay was one of the best players on the Lions but did not see much postseason success. The team only made it to the playoffs twice and lost in the wild-card round

The Detroit Lions are definitely going to be looking to add depth to their defensive line this offseason after dealing with injuries last year and seeing how deep they weren’t.  One very intriguing offer just hit the market on Friday and he has ties to Lions head coach Dan Campbell. We’re talking about former first-round

Did anyone else notice that the Detroit Lions got fined a lot this season? Well, if you haven’t, the NFL definitely has. They had quite the running tab on the Lions in 2024. They fined the team 20 times for a grand total of $444,007. That puts them at ninth in the league for total

The Detroit Lions front office is the envy of the NFL. Brad Holmes has done a sensational job drafting talent and managing contract extensions. Along with losing key personnel from Dan Campbell’s coaching staff, several members of the Lions’ front office have also been recruited for jobs elsewhere.       The Lions Front Office:

The Detroit Lions are in an interesting place with their interior offensive line right now. They could potentially lose Kevin Zeitler to free agency if they’re not able to bring him back and then there’s a possibility that Graham Glasgow could be a cap casualty.  The Lions do have Christian Mahogany and from what we

I looked at this tweet and all I could think about was Hendon Hooker and everything that was said about Hendon Hooker by the Lions coaching staff over the summer.  “He just needs reps. And it doesn’t matter if it’s us or it’s them or it’s a game, he just needs reps and reps and

Shortly after Cleveland Browns All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett went public with his request to be traded to an advertised Super Bowl contender, Garrett was spotted at the “NFL Honors” show speaking with Detroit Lions defensive superstar Aidan Hutchinson and Detroit quarterback Jared Goff.  On the latest edition of “The Squeeze” podcast, Hutchinson addressed that conversation

Bears Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic doesn’t see veteran TE Gerald Everett back with the team next season as the Bears can save a $6.5 million cap hit in 2025 and incur only $1 million of dead cap by letting him go. According to Brad Biggs, the Bears are expected to promote assistant strength coach
