The Detroit Lions and Ford Motor Company have extended their partnership with Ford Field through the 2036 season, the team announced on Friday. “Renewing our relationship with Ford Motor Company has always been a top priority for us,” Lions president and CEO Rod Wood said in an official statement. “Ford was an integral partner in…

As the free agency craze reached its lull, the Detroit Lions continued to build out their depth in the secondary by signing veteran cornerback Rock Ya-Sin, who most recently played for the San Francisco 49ers in 2024. A former second-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts in 2019, Ya-Sin brings a physical skill set and a…

With the NFL’s push towards making football and even more global game, it is only a matter of time until the Detroit Lions make their way overseas for a regular season matchup. However, we can safely say that trip will not be taking place in 2025, with NFL executive vice president of player health and…

It’s no secret that the Detroit Lions like to play man coverage a lot—arguably more than any other team. Typically that discussion is surrounded around the type of cornerbacks the Lions deploy, but don’t forget that linebacker play is also a big part of that gameplan. Our own Al Karsten pointed out that fact on…

The next batch of Detroit Lions contract details are in, and they offer a little more perspective on the team’s overall roster and the chances these players end up making an impact on the 2025 season. By looking at overall contract terms—and more specifically, guaranteed money—you can get a sense whether these players will make…

With the NFL Draft fast approaching, I’m breaking down potential Detroit Lions draft prospects. Landon Jackson has the prototypical look of a Lions defensive end, carries the leadership pedigree as a two-time Arkansas captain, and, based on film study, could be a strong complementary piece opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Below are my observations on Jackson’s game,…

The Detroit Lions haven’t made a ton of free agency “winners” lists this offseason because of their modest spendings. They have only signed seven external free agents this offseason—only one of whom got a deal longer than a single year or averaged over $4 million a season. Those “winners” are typically awarded to the big…

Brad Holmes and the Detroit Lions have made one thing clear through this regime’s tenure: if they like a guy, they’re not afraid to pay up to get him. The Lions paid a pretty penny to move up 20(!) spots in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft to get Jameson Williams. Then, in…

The Detroit Lions may not have been recognized for many splashy signings in free agency this year, but PFF is impressed with at least one low-cost move they made. Re-signing Levi Onwuzurike to a one-year, $4 million contract made their list of the top five best value signings in 2025 NFL free agency.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta is down in Mexico this week for the NFLPA Classic Golf Tournament, and Kay Adams caught up with him for a five-minute conversation. While the interview was a lot about the tournament and friendly rivalries with tight ends like Packers’ Tucker Kraft, LaPorta did give a little insight into…

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has often conveyed the message that they don’t approach the NFL Draft with needs in mind. Their primary goal is to get good football players, and then figure out how they can fit within their overall plans after. That strategy certainly seems to have worked thus far, as Holmes’…

Last week, we broke down the contract of Detroit Lions free agent addition D.J. Reed. It was notable because it was structured a little differently than we’ve seen in previous Lions contracts. Most notably, instead of Reed having a high salary in the final season of his three-year contract, the Lions are putting that money…

With free agency nearing its close, it’s time to take inventory on the Detroit Lions and how they have constructed their 2025 roster. One way to do that is to look at the depth chart and players currently under contract. Erik Schlitt has you covered with our 2025 contract tracker here.

Is it enough? That is the question at the forefront of every Lions fan entering the 2025 season. The Detroit Lions went 15-2, but still fell short of the title game. With the calendar flipped, many viewed free agency as the time for Detroit to restock and reload. Not only was the bar set high…

By most accounts, Detroit Lions’ cornerback Terrion Arnold had a bit of an up-and-down rookie season. And in most instances, that is to be expected for cornerbacks cutting their teeth in the NFL. After all, it is one of the most difficult positions to make the college-to-pro transition, with teams pushing the ball down the…
