According to Aaron Wilson , there’s a “highly competitive” market for Lions free agent CB Chase Lucas including the Lions, Raiders, Browns and Giants among others.  Detroit declined to tender Lucas as an exclusive rights free agent, which allowed him to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Lucas, 26, is a former seventh-round pick

Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson agreed to return to the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, marking his second stint with the team after he became a key part of their 2022 NFC championship run. The veteran felt he had to clean one thing up after reaching an agreement, though. Gardner-Johnson took to social media to apologize to Eagles

The former 17th overall pick has spent his entire career with the 49ers and he’s helped them reach two Super Bowls.  Armstead is reportedly expected to be released by the 49ers at some point. The Lions are an interested party.  Armstead had a solid season for the 49ers last year despite some injuries. He had

Will C.J. Gardner-Johnson help fix the Eagles’ troubled defense or bring more of the same to Philadelphia’s broken secondary? According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Johnson and the Eagles have agreed to terms on a three-year contract that could pay the 26-year-old safety up to $33M with incentives. Johnson earned $2.5M with Philadelphia in 2022 and

NFL free agency has not officially began yet. It doesn’t start until Wednesday at 4:00 PM. Even with that in mind, all the high end pass rushers and defensive linemen that were in this draft have been spoken for. They all agreed to new deals by Tuesday evening. Some stayed where they were at and

NFL free agency officially gets underway at 4:00 PM on Wednesday and while a lot of things have been verbally agreed to, teams can’t put pen to paper until after 4:00. There’s still a lot of great free agents left on the board for the Detroit Lions. Here’s our top five in the Lions positions

Reader is not a big pass rushing threat, but he is a very good run stopper and a space eater that can eat up blocks and help the Lions get home. He’s a day one starter for the Lions if they’re able to sign him.  Reader has spent the last four seasons with the Bengals

The Detroit Lions are in need of help on the interior of their defensive line. One guy that’s been linked to them since the start of the leagl tampering period is Bengals defensive tackle D.J. Reader. Good news, Reader will visit the Lions this week on a free agent visit.  Reader is not a big

C.J. Gardner-Johnson agreed to a three-year deal to return to the Philadelphia Eagles after leaving for the Detroit Lions in free agency last year, ESPN and the Detroit Free-Press reported Tuesday. A demonstrative defensive back who lines up at safety but thrives near the line of scrimmage, Gardner-Johnson missed all but three games in the

The Detroit Lions are rewarding a guy that stuck in there for years. Everyone remembers watching the heart breaking moment of Dan Skipper getting cut on Hard Knocks. They probably remember the locker room chanting his name after he started a game at guard that same season and played well. Last year that continued when

The Detroit Lions continue to add to their cornerback room during free agency. They reportedly will be signing former Raiders fourth-round pick Amik Robertson. Robertson has versatility and that’s something the Lions love. He played both outside and slot corner for the Raiders in 2023 and started 12 games for the team. Robertson finished the

The Detroit Lions made a major trade on Monday when they agreed to send a third-round pick to the Buccaneers for cornerback Carlton Davis, a 2024 sixth round pick and a 2025 fifth round pick.  Davis is expected to play a big role in the Lions secondary in 2024 as they aim to move back

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes zigged while the rest of the NFL world was zagging. While news broke that free agent after free agent was being signed to new deals, Holmes looked to the trade block to plug one of his team’s biggest offseason holes. Per Adam Schefter, the Lions executed a trade with

The Detroit Lions have made their first move of free agency and they’ve signed a player that Lions fans might be familiar with. He’s definitely someone Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn are familiar with. The Lions will be signing edge rusher Marcus Davenport.  Davenport is a former first round pick for the Saints and spent

Davis was someone we had on our top five corners the Lions could trade for board last week and he fits what this team needs. A guy that can come in and be a solid cornerback two for the Lions.  The former second round pick has spent his entire career with the Buccaneers and and

The Detroit Lions were able to secure one of their offensive linemen on Monday when they re-signed Graham Glasgow to a three year deal. As expected, they were not able to keep both. Jonah Jackson has left to re-join Matthew Stafford in Los Angles.  The Rams really paid Jackson a lot and at the end

Reader had a pretty nice career with both the Bengals and the Texans and helped the Bengals reach the Super Bowl as their starter in 2021. Reader is suburb run stopper that could be both a starter and premium depth for this team. He had a 75.3 run blocking grade for the Bengals last season.

The Detroit Lions are bringing back a major piece of their offensive line with this move. I’m not sure there was ever any doubt. The Lions have re-signed starting right guard Graham Glasgow.  Glasgow returned to Detroit in 2023 after a rough ending with the Broncos and completely resurrected his career. He became the starter

Reynolds, 27, wound up going undrafted out of Kutztown back in May of 2019. He signed a three-year, $1.755 million contract with Washington but was cut and later re-signed to their practice squad. Reynolds later joined the Falcons in 2019 and returned to Atlanta on a futures contract after the season. The Falcons elected to

The Kansas City Chiefs led by Patrick Mahomes have now become a dynasty after winning 3 Super Bowls in the last 5 years. Furthermore, with the back-to-back championships in the last two seasons, the team has created history. In addition, the team will be going for more in the coming seasons. They have a target
