The Detroit Lions made a big splash in free agency when they signed former Bengals defensive lineman DJ Reader. Arguably one of the best nose tackles in the NFL. Before they could sign him, they brought him in for a visit in Detroit. That’s where they took a bit of confident risk.  The Lions flew

Tyler Boyd has been connected to a host of teams this offseason. The veteran remains one of the market’s top wide receivers, but the longtime Bengals slot presence clearly has not seen his market reach an acceptable price point. Tied to the Chiefs, Jets and his hometown Steelers thus far, Boyd may have some other options. The

As the NFL Draft inches closer at the tail end of this month, we’re going division-by-division, breaking down the betting odds for the position of each team’s first pick. Today, we look to the NFC North, who sportsbooks have offered just two teams. The Chicago Bears are drafting first, and all but certainly are grabbing

The Detroit Lions are in need of another wide receiver after losing Josh Reynolds to free agency, and according to Mark Kaboly of The Athletic, they have expressed interest in Tyler Boyd. Boyd is probably the best wide out remaining on the free-agent market, and surprisingly, he is still unsigned. The 29-year-old is coming off

After picking 12 starters or major contributors in the past three drafts, the Detroit Lions will try to match that success April 25-27 at the NFL Draft in downtown Detroit. The 2021 through 2023 drafts were the first such collaborations of general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell. Among the players selected by

April is here and that means the 2024 NFL Draft is just over the horizon. We’ll finally get to see where all these names we’ve been staring at for months wind up in the league and which of them wind up with the Detroit Lions.  The Lions have had a lot of draft picks in

“On March 31, 2024, Mr. Cameron Sutton voluntarily turned himself into the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office,” said Sutton’s attorneys, Todd Foster and Jason A. Setchen, via Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. “On April 1, 2024, he was released on his own recognizance. After completing an investigation into this matter, the Office of the State Attorney

As the NFL free agency period unfolds, the Detroit Lions have found themselves at the center of speculation surrounding veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore. Initially, the idea of Gilmore joining the Lions seemed plausible, especially with the team’s acquisitions of Carlton Davis and Amik Robertson. However, when news broke of Cameron Sutton’s legal troubles and subsequent

On Monday, former Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton appeared in a Florida court, where he was charged with one misdemeanor count of domestic battery, according to the “Detroit Free Press.” Sutton initially turned himself into authorities on Sunday evening.

Coming off a 12-5 regular season and a narrow loss in the NFC Championship Game, the Detroit Lions look to take the next step and advance to the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history. General Manager Brad Holmes has done a great job acquiring talent, and Dan Campbell and the coaching job has

The Detroit Lions got into a bit of pickle over the weekend when Brock Wright, who the Lions had previously tendered, signed a three year, $12 million offer sheet with the San Francisco 49ers.  The Lions do have until Wednesday to match the offer that the 49ers made and if they don’t, Wright will head

One of the spots that the Detroit Lions have had trouble filling in recent years has been the kick return spot. Last year the Lions went through five different options. Khalil Dorsey, Craig Reynolds, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Mohamed Ibrahim and Zonovan Knight. None of them worked out well.  Part of the problem is that when camp

A warrant went out for Cameron Sutton‘s arrest in early March; more than three weeks later, the former Lions and Steelers cornerback turned himself in. Sutton was taken into custody on a domestic battery by strangulation charge, according to the Hillsborough County Sherriff’s Office. The Lions released Sutton, 29, last week. The alleged crime took

That ended up happening, with the four-year guard starter landing a three-year, $51M deal from the Rams. Jackson’s Rams deal came on a day in which two teams — the Rams and Panthers — each finalized plans to add two high-priced guards.  Jackson joins Kevin Dotson as a well-paid Rams guard; the latter signed a

The Las Vegas Raiders took a real hit this offseason, even though they were busy making the splashiest move of signing defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. With every player you sign, you lose some, too, and the Raiders lost a great player to an NFC foe. When 2023 started, the Raiders weren’t a great defensive team.

Last year, the Detroit Lions made a significant move in NFL free agency by signing former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton. With Sutton now out of the picture, Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine suggests that the Lions could turn to another former Steelers defensive back in free agency: Patrick Peterson.

On Friday, it was reported that the San Francisco 49ers had made an offer to Detroit Lions restricted free-agent tight end Brock Wright.

Michigan nickelback Mike Sainristil has vaulted himself into first-round consideration with an impressive evaluating season leading up to the NFL Draft in Detroit on April 25. Sainristil ran a 4.47 40-yard-dash time at the 2024 NFL Combine, showcasing the straight-line speed that made him one of the best defensive playmakers in the nation last season. 

The Detroit Lions could use some depth in their receiving corps, and the Los Angeles Rams may have a potential solution for them. Bleacher Report’s Maurice Moton feels that the Lions should target Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell in a trade, suggesting that Atwell could be available for a late-round draft pick after Los Angeles
