Sometimes the path doesn’t lead where you expect to walk… Originally, I set out here to write a piece on some number of current NFL free agents who can help the Detroit Lions. I pulled up one available player list to find some potential names, and then another. And another. After looking at three lists,

Despite some Lions players from last season signing lucrative free agent deals elsewhere this offseason, Detroit is not projected to earn any compensatory selections in the 2025 NFL Draft. The latest projections for 2025 comp picks from both NFL.com and Over The Cap do not include the Lions among those teams receiving any. The Lions
The NFL draft is all about filling needs on a team. Some of those needs might be immediate, while others shoot for a longer view in the team-building process. Not every need gets filled, however. For the Detroit Lions, the 2024 NFL Draft left a couple of positions that were generally seen as team needs
The reviews of the Detroit Lions draft class of 2024 have generally been pretty favorable. While some question GM Brad Holmes trading up for raw project OL Giovanni Manu and another player in Sione Vaki who is primarily a special teams asset, the overall reviews are pretty positive. That’s especially true with the first two
The Detroit Lions have certainly remade their cornerback room, one of their biggest weaknesses from last season. In 2023, their pass defense and 28 touchdown passes surrendered were both ranked 27th in the league. But after trading for cornerback Carlton Davis III from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and signing corner Amik Robertson from the Las
In 2013 the Detroit Lions had this rookie sensation come out of nowhere. I’m talking about tight end Joseph Fauria. He went from being this undrafted rookie that nobody really knew to this guy that suddenly made the 53-man roster and then would up scoring seven touchdowns that season. The expectations off of that became
Free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft are in the books. The Detroit Lions went out and made some very strong moves to rebuild their cornerback room from the ground up and secure the future of their offensive line. But they ignored a key spot that everyone thought they would address and that’s an edge
Lions The Lions took CBs Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw in the first two rounds of the draft to bring drastic change to a previous weakness. Rakestraw is ready to bring a tough mindset to Detroit with his willingness to play downfield and lay powerful hits. “I call myself the ‘Tone-setter.’ My defense used to
The Detroit Lions had a great showing at the the 2024 NFL Draft. They picked some great players, got some steals, made some shocking moves and, best of all, they got better. Don’t just take it from me. It’s been pretty much the consensus thought from draft experts. But there has been a complaint, and
The 2024 NFL draft is in the books, and it was certainly a memorable one kicking off with a chaotic first round that featured an historic run on quarterbacks, wide receivers and offensive tackles, along with trades galore and some surprising picks. While it’s far too early to evaluate these draft classes in full —
[affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] One of the top free agents still on the market, one-time Lions wide receiver DJ Chark is no longer available. Chark has agreed to sign as a free agent with the Los Angeles Chargers, per numerous reports. The 6-foot-4 Chark played in Detroit in 2022 and fared well. He caught 30 passes for 502
Last year the Detroit Lions were in the market for receiver help just before the start of training camp and they made a trade with the Jets for former second-round pick Denzel Mims. Here we are a year later and the team that made that trade, and then made another trade for a receiver during
It was shocking to see Terrion Arnold become available at the 24th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. It was expected that teams such as the Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars would be “all-in” on Arnold but instead they all passed. This opened the door for Lions General Manager Brad Holmes
Last year we were looking for inspiration for something to write about the Detroit Lions on a Friday a few weeks before camp. That’s sort of what you have to do that time of year. The idea was go back and look at every in season and offseason trade that Lions GM Brad Holmes has
By the way, you can see that reverence even more when you see things like Holmes putting leis on Penei Sewell before his extension press conference this past week. Who does that? Seriously, who does that? Who cares about a player enough to tear up when he talk’s about him, make him the highest paid
[affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] CB Terrion Arnold Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Arnold enters the depth chart at the top of the cornerback position, though Carlton Davis will have something to say about that. The first-rounder doesn’t create much drama on the depth chart on his own, but when paired with the next pick… CB Ennis Rakestraw Lions pick
On Monday we went through the Detroit Lions roster piece by piece to try to make a way too early prediction on what the team’s 53-man roster might look like after roster cuts in August. Today we’ll do a companion piece to that where we talk about who might be on the Lions 17 man
NFL players don’t exactly punch a time clock or hustle between one job and another to make ends meet, but at the end of the day, they are still employees. And with that comes some of the same trappings that the hotel front desk clerk, HVAC technician or fireman experience as employees. Namely, complaining about
Lions GM Brad Holmes has been wildly successful in using the annual NFL draft to reconstruct his team from the depths of despair into a prime Super Bowl contender. It’s no secret that Holmes has a great eye for talent and team-building. What is something of a secret is how exactly Holmes organizes what he
The Detroit Lions didn’t do something I though they would or should do this offseason. They skipped out on it in both free agency and the draft. I’m talking about finding that big bodied X receiver. Free agency is tapped out and all the good ones got drafted, but no worries. I found one. Is
