The 2024 NFL Draft is almost here and soon downtown Detroit will be packed full of football fans looking to find out who their team will draft. Until then, there’s going to be a lot of Detroit Lions fans wondering if the Lions will actually make a pick at the 29th spot or will they

Free agency is pretty much in the books for the Detroit Lions. They walked into the process with quite a few of their own free agents and they’ve managed to bring back 16 players that were on their roster in 2023. I think there’s one more that the Lions should consider bringing back and that’s

The Detroit Lions are coming off of their best season in three decades, so they should probably try and make sure they can sustain this success moving forward. Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine thinks the Lions will take a major step toward achieving that this offseason, predicting that they will sign wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown

The 2024 NFL Draft is just weeks away and we’ve talked a lot about the Detroit Lions and what they might do in the draft, but we haven’t talked about what they need to hope their rivals don’t do.  That’s what we’ll do today. We’ll pick one player for the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings

NFL Draft season is upon us and for the next few weeks we will be ranking our top five options for the Lions at each position of need. We’ll also be ranking players based off of where the Lions are picking. So these will be players that they will be able to draft. We’ve already

Ok, I know what you’re thinking. the Lions are all set at quarterback. They’ve got Jared Goff, who’s expected to get an extension any day now, Hendon Hooker and Nate Sudfeld. While they would be fine if they didn’t get an extra one, I think they should keep their eyes peeled for one. Especially since

The Detroit Lions arrived in the NFC Championship Game last season, potentially ahead of schedule, but a loss to the San Francisco 49ers exposed a glaring weakness in the secondary. While the Lions boast an elite pass-rusher in Aidan Hutchinson, the back-end of Detroit’s defense could use an upgrade, be it during the third wave

It’s time for another Detroit Lions 7-round mock draft. Each week we’ve done something different. Last week we traded out of the first round for example. This week I really wanted to get my Brad Holmes on. In 2023 he traded six times during the draft. That is a lot. So I wanted to do

As we get closer to the 2024 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions are starting to rack up some top-30 visits. This week news dropped of meetings with Alabama corner Kool-Aid McKinstry and Utah safety Sione Vaki.  Meetings are important to the Lions and that’s shown over time. They drafted four players that they had meetings

The Detroit Lions hold the 29th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell say they have no plans to change their approach. Eric Woodyard of ESPN sat with Holmes and Campbell to discuss the Lions’ approach to the 2024 NFL Draft. After Detroit had gone

The 2023 NFL season witnessed a remarkable resurgence from the Detroit Lions, marking a significant departure from their previous struggles in the NFC North. Capturing the division title for the first time, the Lions showcased an impressive display of cohesion and determination that propelled them to new heights. Their journey didn’t culminate with just a

The Detroit Lions didn’t go out and grab one of the tippy top defensive lineman out there, but they still made a huge splash when they signed one of the best nose tackles in the league in former Bengal DJ Reader.  Reader is going to make a big difference in Detroit, but don’t take my

Position of 1st Drafted Player: NFC South edition Tampa Bay Buccaneers The favorites: Defensive Line/EDGE (+130) Offensive Lineman (+225) Cornerback (+300) The defending division champs won a playoff game this past season and brought back Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield in free agency to run back the offense that helped them take the NFC South

The Detroit Lions could use some safety help after they released Tracy Walker and didn’t bring C.J. Gardner-Johnson back. They’re going to be hosting a very intriguing draft prospect when they bring in Utah safety Sione Vaki.  The Lions have spent a lot of time with this kid throughout the process. They saw him at

The Detroit Lions on Wednesday matched the three-year offer sheet of the San Francisco 49ers to restricted free agent tight end Brock Wright, ESPN reported. The offer sheet was worth $12 million, including $6 million guaranteed, according to the report. The Lions had tendered a one-year deal worth $2.985 million to Wright in early March.

Kindle Vildor spent 2023 with four teams. The last of those will see if he can maintain a role. The Lions re-signed the veteran cornerback on Wednesday, per ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter. After adding Vildor to a practice squad agreement late last season, the Lions will reunite him with one of his former position coaches. It is

The Lions were one of the NFL’s best during the 1950s, winning championships in 1952, 1953, and 1957. The teams were led by the great Bobby Layne, who was under center in ’52 and ’53. Layne missed the ’57 title game with a broken ankle and Tobin Rote filled in as the Lions won their

The San Francisco 49ers snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the NFC Championship Game this January against the Detroit Lions. The Lions returned the favor by responding to a 49ers’ bid for restricted free agent Brock Wright. The two NFC heavyweights sparred over the tight end in free agency. The 49ers and Wright

Ian Rapoport reports that the Lions have decided to match the 49ers offer sheet on RFA TE Brock Wright, which was for three years at $12 million and included $6 million guaranteed. Wright, 25, signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame following the 2023 NFL Draft. He was waived

He played quite a bit down the stretch for Detroit last season, and while the Lions wanted to get better at cornerback, it made sense to bring him back for depth.  Vildor, 26, was drafted in the fifth round by the Bears out of Georgia Southern in 2020. He was in the final year of
