The last thing the Detroit Lions need is another tight end. T.J. Hockenson is coming off a Pro Bowl season, Josh Hill is a productive veteran, and the value of the position does not merit a top-10 pick, let alone one for the third time in seven years. But Kyle Pitts is different, and that’s
Micah Parsons did not play a down of football last fall, opting out of the college season due to the coronavirus pandemic. And the Penn State linebacker looked none the worse for his decision on Thursday. Parsons had an impressive showing at Penn State’s pro day, running a 4.39-second 40-yard dash in a time provided
The Detroit Lions are keeping close tabs on Micah Parsons heading into the draft, and the Penn State linebacker certainly added to his appeal with a strong showing at his pro day on Thursday. Measuring in at a prototypical 6-foo-3, 246 pounds for his position, Parsons went on to be timed at 4.39 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
Something’s been gnawing at me ever since the Detroit Lions introduced quarterback Jared Goff. It’s a feeling I’ve had that I haven’t wanted to admit to myself. Here it is: I don’t think the Lions will draft a quarterback with the seventh overall pick in the NFL draft. And I want you to know I’ve

A week into the new league year, the Detroit Lions have finally found some help for their thin linebacking corps. The Lions agreed to a free agent contract with linebacker Alex Anzalone on Wednesday. The one-year deal is worth up to $1.75 million, a league source said. Anzalone, 26, played the past four seasons with
A week into free agency and we can comfortably confirm the Detroit Lions’ rebuild is in full swing. While it’s entirely understandable everyone in the organization is rejecting that characterization, there’s little disputing the maneuvers being made by the franchise in recent days reveal what’s truly happening. There’s nothing wrong with the approach. The Lions
Jared Goff should have two seasons to prove he is a quarterback the Detroit Lions can build around. The Lions strengthened their commitment to Goff on Wednesday by doing a simple contract restructure. ESPN reported the Lions converted $20 million of Goff’s $25.65 million base salary this fall into a signing bonus. That moves frees
The Detroit Lions have restructured quarterback Jared Goff’s contract, creating $15 million in cap space for the 2021 season. Goff was scheduled to have a $25.65 million base salary this season. The Lions took $20 million of that and paid it upfront as a bonus, allowing the cap hit to be spread evenly over the
Now that Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones are officially gone, does anyone really think the Detroit Lions will enter the 2021 season with a top 3 receiver room of Tyrell Williams, Breshad Perriman and Quintez Cephus?

The Detroit Lions have a new return man. Kalif Raymond agreed to a one-year contract with the Lions on Tuesday, his agency, EnterSports Management, announced on Twitter.

The Detroit Lions lost their return man this offseason when Jamal Agnew signed three-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. On Tuesday, the Lions might have found a replacement, agreeing to a one-year contract with Kalif Raymond, according to the player’s agent.

It all makes sense now. As the Detroit Lions cut several veterans with bloated salaries and who were non-scheme fits from their roster last week, they kept one potential cap casualty around. Defensive tackle Nick Williams agreed to a pay cut for the 2021 season, according to NFL Players Association records. Williams will make a
Reviewing the Detroit Lions’ roster for potential cap savings ahead of the start of the new league year, it was easy to identify potential cuts.

He is a self-admitted “nerd” with an infectious personality who is nothing if not honest, so when new Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams was asked Monday if he was upset the Green Bay Packers let him go in free agency, he was refreshingly forthright with his answer. “Of course,” Williams said in his introductory video
If you’re searching for one player who epitomizes the early stages of a cultural shift in the Detroit Lions locker room, look no further than running back Jamaal Williams. From an on-field perspective, Williams fills a need as a do-everything backfield complement to rising star D’Andre Swift. But it’s Williams’ infectious personality and positivity that
