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). The matter is now closed. Williams avoided criminal charges after police discovered a gun during a traffic stop in October. The former Alabama Crimson Tide star was

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

The Detroit Lions recently hired former NFL quarterback Bruce Gradkowski for his first NFL coaching job. At this point we don’t know what his role will be on the staff, but if we’re speculating, assistant quarterbacks coach makes a lot of sense.  While this is Gradkowski’s first coaching job in the NFL, it’s not his

The 2024 NFL season is over and analysts are already on to trying to make predictions for the 2025 season. ESPN got a whole group together to predict a few things like which teams will be in the Super Bowl next year and what teams will take a step back.  Four analysts had the Lions

So here’s where we’re sitting with the Detroit Lions right now. There’s this feeling in the air that the Lions need to make a huge move on the edge to help Aidan Hutchinson and win the Super Bowl in 2025.  Right now the moves on the table are Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby. The Lions

The Detroit Lions are looking to add a quality edge player in the draft. New defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard could benefit from pairing a returning Aidan Hutchinson on the edge with another edge rusher. With a wealth of defensive talent available this year, here are top candidates who might be available as the 28th pick.

The Detroit Lions were the best team in the NFL for most of the 2024 season. Their dominant offense was paired with a defense that overcame injury after injury. In the playoffs, they were overwhelmed by the Washington Commanders, leading to an early season end. Once the offseason began, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive

An element of surprise could be the difference between a breakout season and a lost one. Campbell might be sitting on a bombshell. Dan Campbell had a 2024 campaign that will be remembered as a mixed bag. On one hand, the Detroit Lions head coach secured the number one seed in the NFC. On the

The Detroit Lions’ 2024-25 season ended in shocking disappointment. After dominating the competition throughout the regular season and earning the No. 1 seed, the Lions fell flat on their face against the Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Injuries and a lack of depth, especially on the defensive side of the ball,

There’s one thing we’re definitely not going to do and that is come here and say that Ben Johnson was a bad offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions. He was spectacular and was a big reason why the Lions had one of the league’s top offenses for the last three years in a row.  That
