The Lions joined the Eagles in going cornerback-cornerback to start the draft. Beyond slot corner Brian Branch, this will effectively complete a Detroit overhaul at the position. Terrion Arnold began the Lions’ CB-CB first two rounds, with Missouri’s Ennis Rakestraw Jr. going to Detroit a day after the team traded up for the Alabama-developed cover

Kyle Peko has made his way around this site’s transaction posts over the years, bouncing to a few teams and on and off practice squads. But the veteran defensive tackle has continued to generate interest despite working mostly as a backup. A stint with the Titans last year brought new territory — regular starter run

Peko is an undrafted defensive tackle that has been in the NFL since 2016. He’s spent time with the Colts, Raiders, Broncos, Bills and Titans. The last one is the notable one.

The Lions encountered more gambling suspensions than any other team last year. This led to several cuts, Jameson Williams not debuting until October and some staff dismissals. C.J. Moore was among the players jettisoned following a gambling suspension; the Lions cut the veteran special-teamer last April despite having re-signed him a month earlier. The team

Moore, 28, went undrafted out of Ole Miss back in 2019. He later signed a rookie contract with the Lions and made the 53-man roster as a rookie. The Lions re-signed Moore to a one-year contract worth up to $2.4 million with $800,000 guaranteed in 2022. He returned to the Lions last year on a

The Detroit Lions didn’t do anything in terms of edge rusher outside of the signing of Marcus Davenport. That just can’t be it right? The Lions could use some more help. There’s a player out there in free agency that has some tremendous upside and is still young enough to see where that upside can

The Detroit Lions made a bold move in the first round of the NFL Draft, selecting Alabama All-American cornerback Terrion Arnold with the 24th overall pick. This pick not only adds talent to the Lions’ defense but also exemplifies the mindset that resonates with the city of Detroit. In an audio released by NFL Films,

The Detroit Lions did not have a compensatory pick in the 2024 NFL draft. They didn’t have one in the 2023 NFL Draft either. In fact, they haven’t had a compensatory pick since the 2022 NFL draft when they had three. But will they have any after the Lions lost some priority free agents? The

Last season, Hutchinson posted 11.5 sacks in his second NFL season as the Lions barnstormed to the NFC Championship Game before coming up short against the San Francisco 49ers. While the Lions have added Marcus Davenport, last season  — and Detroit’s second-half collapse in San Francisco underscored the notion that a contender can’t have enough

Now that the dust has settled and the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books, I want to go back to reflect on something that really stood out to me a few weeks back. The Detroit Lions put out a movie that reflected on their 2023 season and in that movie there is a moment
