The Detroit Lions front office is the envy of the NFL. Brad Holmes has done a sensational job drafting talent and managing contract extensions. Along with losing key personnel from Dan Campbell’s coaching staff, several members of the Lions’ front office have also been recruited for jobs elsewhere.       The Lions Front Office:

Did anyone else notice that the Detroit Lions got fined a lot this season? Well, if you haven’t, the NFL definitely has. They had quite the running tab on the Lions in 2024. They fined the team 20 times for a grand total of $444,007. That puts them at ninth in the league for total

The Detroit Lions are in an interesting place with their interior offensive line right now. They could potentially lose Kevin Zeitler to free agency if they’re not able to bring him back and then there’s a possibility that Graham Glasgow could be a cap casualty.  The Lions do have Christian Mahogany and from what we

I looked at this tweet and all I could think about was Hendon Hooker and everything that was said about Hendon Hooker by the Lions coaching staff over the summer.  “He just needs reps. And it doesn’t matter if it’s us or it’s them or it’s a game, he just needs reps and reps and

Shortly after Cleveland Browns All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett went public with his request to be traded to an advertised Super Bowl contender, Garrett was spotted at the “NFL Honors” show speaking with Detroit Lions defensive superstar Aidan Hutchinson and Detroit quarterback Jared Goff.  On the latest edition of “The Squeeze” podcast, Hutchinson addressed that conversation

Bears Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic doesn’t see veteran TE Gerald Everett back with the team next season as the Bears can save a $6.5 million cap hit in 2025 and incur only $1 million of dead cap by letting him go. According to Brad Biggs, the Bears are expected to promote assistant strength coach

The NFL will not discipline Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams for carrying an unlicensed gun, a league spokesperson told the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday (per ESPN).

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has already been suspended twice during his NFL career, but he will not face any further disciplinary action in the wake of his latest off-field incident. Williams was the passenger in a car that was pulled over for speeding in October. The former Alabama star’s brother was driving. During

A gun incident involving Jameson Williams produced an internal police review in Detroit, but no charge ended up surfacing in connection with the fall development. That still left the blossoming wide receiver open to an NFL suspension, but he is in the clear there now as well. Williams will not face NFL discipline here, per

We are just a handful of weeks away from free agency and the Detroit Lions are one of the teams that everyone is looking at to potentially make a splash move. Whether that’s signing someone or multiple someones in free agency or making the big Myles Garrett trade, it feels like something is coming for

Last week the Detroit Lions lost director of scouting advancement Mike Martin to Notre Dame. He is the Irish’s new general manager. On Wednesday the Lions lost another front office member. This time it’s the Lions’ director of football compliance/ lead football council Jon Dykema. He will be heading to Lansing to be Michigan State’s

Lions New Lions OC John Morton told reporters that his previous experience with QB Jared Goff will help him as he takes over for Ben Johnson and installs the team’s offense for 2025. “I think it’s big because it all starts with the quarterback,” Morton told Fox 2 Detroit’s Dan Miller. “Just kind of knowing

“Gotta blast,” Hutchinson captioned the Instagram post. Hutchinson, 24, looked like the frontrunner for the AP Defensive Player of the Year Award before sustaining the injury in the Week 6 road win over the Dallas Cowboys. Hutchinson tallied a then league-leading 7.5 sacks in five games, to go along with 19 tackles (12 solo) and

The Detroit Lions’ season may have ended in disappointing fashion, but they have been given some reason to be excited for 2025 already. Star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson shared video Monday showing him running at something close to full speed. The video comes roughly four months after Hutchinson suffered a broken left leg in a

The Detroit Lions added former Stanford head coach David Shaw to a revamped coaching staff on Tuesday as their passing game coordinator. Shaw, 52, was a four-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year at Stanford from 2011-22. With a record of 96-54, he resigned as the winningest coach in Cardinal history. Joining head coach Dan Campbell’s

The 2025 NFL Combine is next week and we’ll get to have our first ideas of who the Detroit Lions will be looking at in terms of players and positions. For the next week, we’ll be going over some of the positions we suspect the Lions will have interest in and listing some of the

And here we go again with this one. On Tuesday ESPN’s Matt Bowen put out his top 50 free agent list and included the best fit for each player. Of the 50 players listed, he only saw one of them being a good fit for the Lions, and that one fit was Chase Young. Here’s

One of the highest-profile free agents of this offseason will be Khalil Mack. He will turn 34 this month, but Mack is still a very productive player. After announcing that he will play in the 2025 season, he’s poised to be in high demand this offseason. Mack is an excellent target for teams in a

When Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson went down with a broken leg against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6, it was devastating to a team that needed him so badly and to what would have been a Defensive Payer of the Year winning campaign for him.  But there was instant hope given to Lions

When the Detroit Lions hired Texas Longhorns running backs coach Tashard Choice, the initial reaction might have been one of surprise. After all, coach Scottie Montgomery has done an outstanding job developing David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs into the top tandem running back duo in the NFL. But upon further reflection, elevating Choice from collegiate
