The NFL offseason is moving fast and the landscape around the league is really starting to change. Myles Garrett asked the Cleveland Browns for a trade and that’s one the Detroit Lions could be interested in, but one that makes a lot of sense for the Lions now is Rams receiver Cooper Kupp.  The Rams

Personally, I’ve never once believed some of the things that I know other writers or Detroit Lions fans believe when it comes to Lions GM Brad Holmes. I totally get why people believe that they have Holmes figured out because during his time here, he’s largely shown us one way of acquiring players and that’s

The sports world has been absolutely insane the last few days. First, the Mavericks traded Luka Donic to the Lakers, and now Cleveland Browns All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett has asked to be traded.  This is no doubt going to have every team in the NFL trying to make a deal with the Browns to

Goff completed 10 of 11 passes for 126 yards, while the Arizona Cardinals’ Budda Baker and

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell raised some eyebrows last month when he suggested that the Detroit Lions could consider releasing former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker this offseason.  Hooker, a third round selection by the Lions in the 2023 NFL Draft, attempted just nine passes for Detroit in 2024.  The former Vol was demoted to the No.

The Pro Bowl is always a time for players across the NFL to have some fun at the end of the year. And we got a taste of that in Sunday’s version, when Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs intercepted a pass late in the flag football game. He looked like he was probably going to

The Detroit Lions have lost a lot of coaches on the offensive side of the ball in the last few weeks. One of the big losses they’ve had to endure was the loss of tight ends coach Steve Heiden. He joined Aaron Glenn and the New York Jets as their offensive line coach last week. 

Fowler notes the Jaguars won’t be huge spenders in free agency but they want to fortify their secondary and could make a splurge on a spot like corner. He adds Davis could be ranked as high as the No. 2 cornerback available by some teams this March and should have a healthy market.  Davis, 28,

After a shocking early exit in the playoffs, the Detroit Lions will need to address their biggest needs in order to not only get back to the playoffs but go further than they did this year. Their biggest needs come from the front lines both on offense and defense, and they were badly missing Aiden

Matthew Stafford knows how to reward his loyal fans.

The New York Jets announced the hiring of Tanner Engstrand as their next offensive coordinator on Friday, continuing to raid the Detroit Lions’ cupboard in the process.

Lions Lions C Frank Ragnow dealt with several injuries during the 2023 season, including issues with his toe, knee, calf and back.

At one point, the WNBA’s best team was right here in Detroit. The Detroit Shock won three WNBA championships in the early 2000s and was coached by Bill Laimbeer, who was connected to the Bad Boy Pistons era.  In 2009 the team moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma in a move that’s been characterized as a failure

Aaron Glenn moved quickly in finding a defensive coordinator for his first Jets staff. On the offensive side of the ball, further clarity has emerged regarding the two top candidates. SNY’s Connor Hughes reports Nick Caley was New York’s top choice for the OC gig. The in-demand Rams tight ends coach was not interested in joining

Senior Bowl practices are over and everyone is heading home from Alabama now. We’ve all seen enough and it’s time to get to the mock drafts. For the Detroit Lions, this was a good week for the board to fall in their favor.  Obviously, there’s a lot left to do in the process, but here’s

The Detroit Lions are back in the hiring news again.
