The Detroit Lions are a few days away from having some extra cap space allotted to them with the help of the Post-June 1st designation.  The Lions released cornerback Cameron Sutton after he allegedly assaulted his significant other and then went on the run for several weeks.  They released him in March with a Post-June

When the Detroit Lions selected Alabama RB Jahmyr Gibbs with the 12th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, many raised an eyebrow.  Citing positional value and other team needs, analysts believed the pick was a stretch, to say the least.  Gibbs would go on to accumulate over 1200 yards from scrimmage and 11 TDs, all

For the better part of the last 30 years, the Detroit Lions had been NFL laughingstocks. But last season, their efforts to rebuild and accumulate legitimate talent finally started to compound. They finished with a 12-5 record, which gave them a first-place finish in their division for the first time since the 1993 season, and

The dust has really settled on everything at this point. The acquisitions phase of the offseason is done for the most part. The Detroit Lions had a ton of their own free agents this offseason. More than usual. 39 players in total.  Most of those guys have either remained with the Lions on new contracts

It has been a few months since the Bucs traded Carlton Davis III to the Detroit Lions, making a huge change in Tampa Bay’s secondary . But, it’s the first time we were able to see the reaction from Davis’ close teammate Jamel Dean. The two players have been linked for a while, going back

We’ve been having fun with this start, bench and cut thing we’re doing with the Detroit Lions. So far we’ve done one for the secondary and one for the defensive line. Now it’s time to head over to the offense and make sense of the 12 receivers that the Lions currently have on their roster. 

NFC contender the Detroit Lions are urged to sign Super Bowl free agent Tashaun Gipson this offseason. According to a report, the Lions have been adding to the secondary, selecting cornerbacks in the first and second rounds. Many argue they need to add a receiver since they haven’t been able to re-sign Josh Reynolds. However,

The UFL season is almost over. The Championship game is on June 16th. After that we will sadly be football free for a painful 45 days until the Bears and Texans take the field for the annual Hall of Fame game on August 1st.  This weekend will mark the end of the regular season for

You have to figure that the Detroit Lions immediately circled their Week 6 game when the schedule was released on May 15 th. They return to what they consider the scene of an unforgivable crime. And they’ll be looking for payback. The Lions feel they scored the game-winning two-point conversion when the teams last met

The Detroit Lions made a massive commitment this offseason when they chose to sign quarterback Jared Goff to a massive extension. Goff’s new deal is a four-year, $212 million contract. It’s a huge step to make, but it’s clear that Brad Holmes and the Detroit front office believe fully in Goff’s ability to lead the

Last week we had fun playing start, bench and cut with the Detroit Lions brand new secondary. So much fun that we’re back to do it again with another group. The defensive line. The Lions made some overhauls during the offseason now it’s time to talk about who’s going to start. Let’s jump right into

What a week it was for Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams ;ast week. Lions head coach Dan Campbell heaped some very big praise on the third year receiver in the teams first media availability of OTAs.  “We’re two practices in and if you said, ‘Give me one player that is the most improved from that

A to Z Sports new podcast The Football Room , which is worth watching and listening to, recently got together to grade the first 16 picks of the 2023 NFL draft a year after we’ve seen their rookie seasons.

Branch was spotted on a one-legged scooter during the NFL Draft in Detroit in late April. While Branch is progressing well, he will miss the rest of organized team activities and next

As soon as the 2023 NFL season concluded, the one thing that seemed like a forgone conclusion was that the Detroit Lions would release Tracy Walker to free up some cap. Nobody wanted to see it happen, but Walker was making quite a bit of money for a player that had been declining.  As time

Jameson Williams‘ tenure in Tuscaloosa was short, yet electrifying.  A 2021-2022 season that could have ended in a national championship if not for his injury in the national title game, the Detroit Lions bet on Williams with the 12th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.  And while they have yet to see a return on

At this point in his game, free agent wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is not the type of player who can singlehandedly win football games. The former third-round pick spent the 2023 season with the Cleveland Browns, hauling in just four receptions for 67 yards while appearing in 12 games. However, the Texas product still possesses

“I was told the benchmark here is Amon-Ra St. Brown,” Fowler said, via B/R. “He got $28 million a year on a four-year from Detroit. The goal appears to be to try to beat that. He doesn’t have to be the highest paid in the league, but he’s done enough and he’s accomplished enough in

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was seen celebrating after the Detroit Lions signed their star wideout, Amon-Ra St. Brown, to a lucrative four-year contract extension.

The Detroit Lions really took a hard look at their problems from 2023 this offseason and it wasn’t hard for them to find out what spot needed the biggest overhaul. That’s their secondary. The Lions certainly went out and made all the changes that you could think of.  Only three cornerbacks from last years team
