Right now the thing that seems to be on the minds of all Detroit Lions fans is Myles Garrett and the possibility that the Lions could trade for him. Some fans want it really bad and others don’t.  For us, we think it would be a Super Bowl-winning move for the Lions, but there is

Despite speculation that Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris will move on from the Steel City in 2025, one sportsbook tabbed the Steelers as the most likely landing spot for Harris at +200 odds.

There’s been some speculation over the last few weeks that the Detroit Lions could trade former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker this offseason.  Hooker, a third round selection by the Lions in the 2023 NFL Draft, was pushed to the No. 3 quarterback role for Detroit in the playoffs after the franchise signed Teddy Bridgewater

Over the weekend I had my brother-in-law in town to help me remodel my kitchen. It was then when we were talking about the possibility of the Detroit Lions trading for Myles Garrett and he asked if the Lions could trade any players to Cleveland for him.  Here’s the thing, I don’t think that the

Detroit Lions cornerback, Terrion Arnold has championship aspirations after seeing the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs and be crowned Super Bowl LIX champions.

The Super Bowl is over and the NFL season is officially over as well. We’re in full offseason mode all around and the next step is free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft.  The Super Bowl is going to inspire this week’s mock draft a lot because we learned that having a strong defense is
