C.J. Gardner-Johnson is the highest-paid member of the 2023 Detroit Lions to hit free agency with an expiring contract. The Lions paid the versatile defensive back $6.5 million for his one season in Detroit. The Lions did not get their money’s worth with “Ceedy Duce.” He tore a pectoral muscle in Week 2 and did

Up next in the Lions draft report for 2024 is an underappreciated pass rusher. Brad Holmes and his front office have proven they are very capable of putting together great draft classes.

It is finally draft season for Lions fans. Brad Holmes and his front office have proven they are very capable of putting together great draft classes. They have had major hits on every day of the draft, but especially on Day Two. This roster isn’t in desperate need of much because of his work, but

One of the clearest signs the Detroit Lions are in much better hands now than in any other time of the Internet Era is in how well the team is managing the financial aspect of football. For years, the Lions routinely ranked near the top of the NFL in dead salary cap spending — paying

Last night’s Super Bowl officially ended the 2023 season. Time now for free agency and the 2024 NFL draft and loading up the Detroit Lions for another deep playoff run, hopefully one that culminates in playing in next year’s final game. There’s another, less common way to add impact talent to the roster: trades. And

The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are just about ready to square off in Super Bowl LVIII, a rematch of the big game four years ago. The Chiefs won that battle, 31-20, but the 49ers come into this game as the slight favorites over Patrick Mahomes’ squad. While San Francisco is likely the

Every Detroit Lions gameday this year, a few hours before kickoff, I wrote up a “last minute thoughts and final score prediction” article here. It was a final game preview but also a way to get myself ready for the Lions playing that day. Alas, the Lions magnificent run ended a game too early for

The first offseason position coaching change has struck the Detroit Lions. Secondary coach Brian Duker is leaving Drtroit to join the Miami Dolphins in a similar capacity. Duker has been with the Lions for the entire Dan Campbell tenure. He was the safeties coach before being promoted to defensive backs coach in the 2022 season.

Brodric Martin didn’t have the kind of rookie year he wanted in Detroit. Even though Martin was drafted with the knowledge he was a developmental project, playing just 28 total snaps in three games in 2023 was much more of a project than just about anyone anticipated for the third-round defensive tackle out of Western

Amon-Ra St. Brown will be in Detroit for a long time. The first-team All-Pro wide receiver is one of the central building blocks for the reigning NFC North champions. St. Brown is entering the final year of his rookie contract. As the 102nd pick in the 2021 NFL draft, the wideout from USC signed a

The 2024 NFL draft in Detroit is getting closer and closer. Set to take place in downtown Detroit in late April, it’s an event for fans near and far. The NFL has released conceptualizations of what the draft stage will look like. All the activity will be centered around the Campus Martius Park and Hart

Detroit has come a long way from booing owner Sheila Hamp when she presented Calvin Johnson at his Hall of Fame ring ceremony in Ford Field. The chants of “sell the team” have given way to “Let’s go Lions” and “Jared Goff” — even away from football and at road games. The team’s transformation would

Dan Campbell was one of the finalists for the NFL Coach of the Year at the annual NFL Honors. The Lions head coach was a great candidate, leading Detroit to a division title and a 12-5 record. Alas, Campbell did not win the award. Kevin Stefanski of the Browns was the winner, followed by Houston’s

The Detroit Lions scored a big win on Thursday night. While it wasn’t an NFL Honors award, this victory is even better. Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Lions All-Pro center Frank Ragnow has decided to keep playing. There had been some consideration that Ragnow could retire due to his chronic toe injury

Neither Sam LaPorta nor Jahmyr Gibbs won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year at the annual NFL Honors extravaganza. But the Lions duo finished in the top four in the voting. LaPorta captured 40 of the 48 third-place votes to finish in third. Gibbs earned three third-place votes to come in fourth. The Lions

There appears to be another coaching addition to the Detroit Lions defensive staff. Multiple reports indicate the Lions are hiring former Jaguars defensive passing game coordinator Deshea Townsend to the same role in Detroit. Townsend, 48, spent two years in that role in Jacksonville. The Lions did not have a named passing game coordinator on

This year’s NFL draft will be a different experience for Detroit Lions fans. The Lions don’t pick in the top five overall, or even the top 10. Heck, Detroit isn’t slated to pick in the first 25 slots. Brad Holmes and the Lions will make their first selection in the 2024 NFL draft at No.

It is finally draft season for Lions fans. Brad Holmes and his front office have proven they are very capable of putting together great draft classes. They have had major hits on every day of the draft, but especially on Day Two. This roster isn’t in desperate need of much because of his work, but
