Lions In an offseason where the Lions have lost numerous assistant coaches on both sides of the ball, they hired former Stanford HC David Shaw as their pass game coordinator. Detroit WR Amon-Ra St. Brown revealed his prior relationship with Shaw and outlined his excitement to get to work with him.  “I’ve known Shaw since

The Detroit Lions are in win-now mode and they would like to win that Super Bowl like, well now. One way they can make sure that they win a Super Bowl would be to trade for former Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett.  It’s a big move for sure and it’s one that would

The Lions announced the newest member of Dan Campbell’s staff is Bruce Gradowski, a former NFL quarterback and UFL offensive coordinator. Gradowski spent the past two seasons as the offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Battlehawks.   Dan Campbell Hires UFL Coach For Lions Staff A veteran NFL quarterback before he began coaching, Gradowski was

Aidan Hutchinson, defensive end for the Detroit Lions, lately shared his thoughts on his former offensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn, becoming the current head coach of the New York Jets. On Thursday’s edition of the ‘The Pat McAfee Show’, Hutchinson had some great things to say about Glenn, and remarked that the new Jets coach knew

Do you believe in curses? I’m not fully sure that I do unless that “curse” really shows itself a lot. This one seems to be doing that.  The NFL held their annual award show on Thursday night and for the third year in a row, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell was up for Coach

The Lions are hiring former NFL quarterback Bruce Gradkowski as an offensive assistant, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Originally a Buccaneers sixth-round pick in 2006, Gradkowski bounced between six different teams in his career, finishing with 37 total appearances and 20 starts.

The Detroit Lions coaching search continues and so does the Lions staff looking to hire predominantly coaches that have played in the NFL. On Thursday the team hired former quarterback Bruce Gradowski as an offensive assistant.  Now they plan to interview former All-Pro running back Darren Sproles for a position on their staff.  Sproles, who

The Detroit Lions’ offseason is in full go right now and we’re rapidly approaching free agency at the beginning of March. Anytime between now and the 2025 NFL Draft, the Lions could start extending the contracts of some players.  We worked with cap expert Joshua Quiepo on working up projections for five different Lions players.

If there’s one thing we learned about Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone this season, it’s that the defense just flat-out works better with him on the field.  He’s a key piece of this team and is likely to continue to be a key piece of this team in 2025, but because he’s so important, the

The Detroit Lions are definitely on Myles Garrett watch right now. Of all the teams that keep getting mentioned as possible trade partners for the Browns on this thing, the Lions are ones that get brought up every time.  If the Lions do make this move, when is it going to happen? The answer is

On Wednesday it was announced that the NFL will be playing a regular season game in Melbourne, Australia in 2026. The Los Angeles Rams will be the home team for this game. As for who they’ll play, it could wind up being the Detroit Lions.  The Rams are scheduled to host an NFC North team

We’re still thinking about the insane trade suggestion that former Michigan receiver Braylon Edwards came up with when he suggested the Detroit Lions trade Aidan Hutchinson to the Cleveland Browns for Myles Garrett.  The whole thing that led up to that insanity was a short discussion about the players they believed to be untouchable. The

This is a big offseason for the Detroit Lions. It’s the year in which they decide whether or not they’re going to go full win-now mode or not. It’s all the offseason where they have to decide whether or not Jameson Williams should be extended and kept around longer or be given the fifth-year option

Oh boy, we’ve reached the “insane take” part of the offseason super early this year. The Super Bowl hasn’t even happened yet and people are losing their minds.  Earlier in the week All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett announced that he has requested that the Cleveland Browns trade him and trade him to a team where

Perhaps Cleveland Browns edge-rusher Myles Garrett is the missing piece of the Detroit Lions’ Super Bowl puzzle.  In an interview with the “Dan Patrick Show,” Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer listed the Lions as his favorite landing spot for Garrett, who requested a trade on Monday.   “I mean, God, the idea of Myles Garrett lining

When you’re an undrafted rookie, it’s really hard to make a 53-man roster. Like, really hard. Especially when it’s at a specialist position and it’s with a team that wants its players to be able to do more than one thing if possible.  This year the Detroit Lions started the year with three undrafted rookies

The Detroit Lions season is sadly over too early and we’ll not be able to talk with players again anytime soon. Luckily we got one more shot to talk with Lions punter Jack Fox at the grand opening of Canes Chicken in Canton, MI on Tuesday.  We talked with Fox about the Lions losing Ben

The Detroit Lions had one thing they really wanted to do last offseason and that was rebuild the secondary. They did just that with two big moves. Trading a third-round pick for Carlton Davis and signing Amik Robertson.  Davis had a very good season for the Lions. One that saw him allow passes his way

On Monday night Cooper Kupp took to Twitter and announced that the Los Angeles Rams have informed him that they will be trading him.  This made everyone in the sports world wonder where he could wind up. We here at AtoZ Sports Detroit felt that Kupp in Detroit makes a lot of sense as he

The Detroit Lions were able to hold onto offensive coordinator Ben Johnson last offseason after he received interest from teams in need of a head coach. Detroit wasn’t so lucky this time around, as Johnson accepted the Chicago Bears’ job.   The Lions responded to that loss by hiring Denver Broncos pass game coordinator John Morton, who was a senior
