Times have changed. The Detroit Lions are no longer the team that everyone laughs at. They’re now the team that everyone is coming for. They’re the team that other teams want to get revenge on. There’s probably no team that wants revenge more than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You can totally see why too. The
Well, we now know who the Madden 25 cover athlete is. It’s San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. With that out of the way, the next step is to see those Detroit Lions player ratings.

It’s been 12 years since Calvin Johnson set the NFL record for single-season receiving yards. And while five players have come close to eclipsing his 1,964-yard mark since then, only Cooper Kupp has gotten within real striking distance (1,947 yards). However, the six-time Pro Bowler feels it’s a matter of when, not if his record
The Patriots made two roster moves on Tuesday, claiming LB Steele Chambers off of waivers from the Lions and waiving LB Jay Person.

[affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] The Lions made a roster move in advance of Tuesday’s OTA session in Allen Park. Detroit waived veteran cornerback Craig James with an injury designation.

Jake Bates announced his UFL presence with authority by making a 64-yard field goal in the Michigan Panthers’ season opener this spring.

Quarterback Jared Goff has signed contract extensions with both the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions as a pro. Goff explained during a recent chat with Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports why his latest deal means more to him than the agreement he inked back in 2019. “This was obviously much harder and had a
Detroit Lions right tackle Penei Sewell is a baller. That’s why in 2023 he was a first team All-NFL and made the Pro Bowl. It’s because he’s the best tackle in football right now. That’s why he’s now the highest paid tackle in football too. According to Pro Football Focus, Sewell is actually the third
The guy we’re really looking at is Russell Gage. Keep in mind that this is an invitation to camp that we’re talking about. This isn’t a guaranteed starting spot or even a spot on the roster. It’s an opportunity to see what’s there. Gage has had an interesting last few years. In 2020 and 2021

Brandon Aiyuk probably wants to avoid playing on his fifth-year option. Although it would earn him $14.124 million in 2024, it is far below his market value. Similarly, the San Francisco 49ers likely want to avoid approaching the $30 million annual salary that might end the wide receiver’s holdout. Last week, Michael Silver of the
Lions Lions HC Dan Campbell said second-year QB Hendon Hooker had one of his best practices of their offseason program and is showing development as a passer. “I would say yesterday was good to see,” Campbell said, via Tim Twentyman of the team’s site. “There was some improvement yesterday that we had really been looking
