Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker didn’t see any action during his rookie season with the Detroit Lions.  Hooker, who was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Lions, spent much of the 2023 season rehabbing from the torn ACL he suffered in late 2022 in Tennessee’s loss to South

The Cameron Sutton story continues to get crazier and crazier. The former Detroit Lions cornerback had recently had a warrant put out for his arrest after he allegedly committed battery by strangulation on March 7th. Since then, the Hillsbourgh County Sheriffs office in Tampa, Florida have been trying to find him.  The Lions found about

The next day they decided to release Sutton from the team. At this point, Sutton has not turned himself in yet and the Hillsbourgh County Sheriffs have not been able to locate him. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin also said he tried to reach out to the former Steeler at the league meetings Monday morning.

Detroit Lions fans have been begging for it since the moment that the Lions were able to do it. They want new uniforms. The Lions have been eligible to for a redesign since after the 2022 season, but they pushed it off until after 2023 so that they could get a team together and come

The Detroit Lions have mostly avoided playing international football. But that streak could be ending in during the 2024 season. In  January it was reported that the NFL had chose it’s teams designated to play in London in 2024. The Lions will play three of the teams that are playing there next season. The Bears,

It’s NFL Draft season! While free agency is still happening and the Lions could very well sign some more players, the focus is beginning to shift. Now it’s time for pro days and top 30 visits. Part of those pro days include teams taking the time to get to know players. One way to do

On Monday at the NFL’s league meetings in Orlando, the competition committee voted to change to challenge rules based on a proposal submitted by the Detroit Lions. The Lions suggested that teams should receive a third challenge if at least one of their two challenges was successful earlier in the game. Before the rule change,

The Detroit Lions re-signed Michael Badgley to a one-year deal at the end of February and I think everyone just sort of initially assumed that was that when it came to kicker for the Lions. As we pointed out that week, that probably wasn’t that since the Lions had re-signed Badgley to a one-year deal

Coming into the offseason, the Detroit Lions were expected to do one pretty big thing and that’s come to terms on an extension with quarterback Jared Goff. After comments from Goff’s agent Ryan Tollner, it seemed like this would be the first thing the Lions would take care of. Here we sit at the end

The Detroit Lions need a new cornerback. After releasing Cameron Sutton following an alleged case of domestic battery, this team could use another body in the secondary. While several big-name players have already found new homes, former Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore is still a free agent. Originally selected by the Buffalo Bills

The New York Giants have spent the offseason rebuilding their offensive line. They’ve signed a number of key free agents to compete upfront. The Giants’ offensive line surrendered a league-high 85 sacks in 2023, so upgrading the unit is a point of emphasis for general manager Joe Schoen. Their most recent addition to the line

Welcome to another  Detroit Lions mock draft. This time we’re going to do things a bit differently. Lions GM Brad Holmes has already teased the idea of trading down multiple times and we’ve done a mock draft to reflect that. But what if he decides to trade up again? That’s a question that a lot

The Detroit Lions are suddenly without a starting cornerback after Cameron Sutton’s release. The Lions are now left with a hole in a cornerback room that seemed like it was a rookie away from being a finished product for the season.  The Lions will still probably draft a cornerback at some point during the draft,

There was a time not long ago when Detroit Lions fans were dreaming of Raiders all-pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby coming to Detroit in a trade. We explored that possibility during the deadline and what it would cost and came to the conclusion that it would cost the Lions too much and that it was

The Giants did not tender Isaiah Hodgins as a restricted free agent, but the team will circle back to its two-year contributor. Hodgins will stay with the Giants, agreeing to terms Thursday night, per a team announcement. A key target during the Giants’ 2022 playoff season, Hodgins has a history with Brian Daboll from their time together

He was a backup tackle for Detroit the past few seasons.  Nelson, 28, signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa in 2019. He was waived coming out of camp and re-signed to the practice squad.  Nelson signed a futures deal for the 2020 season and managed to make the team.

An old chum may be joining Derrick Henry’s transition team in Baltimore. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Thursday that veteran receiver Josh Reynolds is on his way to Baltimore for a visit with the Ravens on Friday.  Reynolds is a free agent after spending the last two full seasons with the Detroit Lions. Originally a

After coming within a game of reaching the Super Bowl, the Detroit Lions have been busy shoring up areas of need this offseason in hopes of another run. Unsurprisingly, there aren’t a ton of weaknesses to pinpoint on the roster, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t players who need to step up in 2024.  With

The Detroit Lions, thanks to a hypercompetitive culture and a young core of talented players on both sides of the ball have quickly ascended into the realm of legitimate Super Bowl contenders. After falling short of the Super Bowl this past January, falling to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, the Lions’
