On Monday night, news broke that the Detroit Lions have agreed to terms with veteran guard Kevin Zeitler on a one-year deal. Zeitler will likely step into a starting position—almost certainly right guard—giving the Lions offensive line a potential starting five again after losing Jonah Jackson in free agency.
We talk about “grit” a lot when discussing the Detroit Lions. It’s the hallmark of the Brad Holmes/Dan Campbell regime and their recipe for success. Yet grit can sometimes be hard to define. It’s a love of football that goes beyond what is expected, but it’s more than that, too. Grit involves passion and respect
The Lions have found their replacement for Jonah Jackson. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Lions are signing veteran guard Kevin Zeitler. The lineman will be inking a one-year deal with Detroit. Zeitler is flying to Detroit on Monday to take his physical before officially signing with the Lions on Tuesday. The 12-year veteran earned
The fifth day of the new NFL league year is always a busy one for contracts. Many contracts are written in with stipulations and contingencies that kick in on the fifth day, which happens to be Monday, March 18th this year. Detroit had a few contract options kick in on Monday. Most notable is a
The Detroit Lions were a broken team in January of 2021. They had just finished up a season in which they fired both their general manager and head coach in November and they then began a mass exodus of players before and after they hired new GM Brad Holmes. The big one was at quarterback.
Take those old records off the shelf and get Howie Roseman some sunglasses. While some NFL general managers (Jerry Jones) hope to cruise through the offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles are all about risky business. Whether by free agency or trade, Roseman hasn’t been shy about adding big name, big money players to the team’s roster.
The first week of NFL free agency is in the books, and it was certainly an eventful one filled with big signings, releases and trades that will have lasting implications heading into the 2024 season. The first day of the negotiation period of free agency proved to be one of the more active Mondays that
The first wave of NFL free agency is in the books. The Detroit Lions weren’t as active as some of the other teams that were signing players every five minutes, but they made plenty of moves and improved their roster. Speaking of roster, now is a good time to see where things are at with
The Detroit Lions have made their initial moves in free agency, and the impact of their additions (and subtractions) will have a ripple effect across the roster. For example, the addition of a guy like DJ Reader is bound to have an impact on everyone else on the defensive line. Whereas, the loss of Jonah…
One of the biggest moves from the Detroit Lions this offseason has been trading for former Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis. The Lions dealt a third-round pick in 2024 for Davis and two sixth-round picks. Now that move has a corollary offshoot. Per Jason from Over The Cap, the Lions have agreed to restructure Davis’ three-year,
When the Detroit Lions acquired cornerback Carlton Davis in a trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they also acquired his hefty $14 million salary and $14.35 million cap hit. That figure immediately hit the Lions’ salary cap once the new league year hit and the trade was official, leading many to believe the Lions would…
A few years ago there was a thought that the next string of general managers in the NFL would treat the league like a fantasy league. The rationale behind that idea was that they would be much more open to trades involving players and picks than generations prior. Turns out they were right. The trend
The Detroit Lions added former Raiders cornerback Amik Robertson as one of the team’s top free agent additions in 2024. The contract details are now available for Robertson, who will be in the mix at outside cornerback for the new-look Lions secondary. Robertson’s deal is a modest one. Per Over the Cap, the fifth-year cornerback
In 2017, Michigan recruited Donovan Peoples-Jones, one of the best wide receivers in the class, to be one of the best receivers in school history. Sadly, it never happened for him, and after three years of never reaching over 1,000 receiving yards in the season with Michigan, he left and entered his name in the
Big, bad DJ Reader signed with Detroit on Thursday, and the Lions wasted no time rolling out the introductory materials. In addition to the introductory press conference we mentioned on Pride of Detroit (in which the team offered an optimistic injury update for the torn quadricep he sustained last December), there is a lot of…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! March 17th falls less than six weeks until the 2024 NFL draft kicks off in Detroit. We’re a few days into free agency now, which alters some team needs from last week’s mock. This week’s first-round projections are already jumbled by a late-week trade involving the Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans.
The Chicago Bears finally pulled the trigger on the trade we knew was coming all offseason. After a couple weeks of trying to gauge the market, the Bears traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers. But the return on the trade was paltry by most standards of young quarterback trades. In return, the Bears…
These days, losing talented players in free agency can make or break a franchise. Here’s a look at players leaving their NFC North teams: Chicago Bears Key losses: WR Darnell Mooney Chicago had high hopes for Mooney after 81 catches, 1,055 yards and four scores in 2021 but since then, he’s had just 71 catches
It’s been a dramatic winter in the Chicago sports world. Since the season ended, the tension around the Bears and quarterback Justin Fields has been dominating the conversation. The drama is now over. On Saturday night, the Bears agreed to a trade that will send Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 2025 sixth-round draft
Wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones‘ midseason tryout for his hometown team was enough of a success that the Lions have opted to bring him in on a new one-year deal. According to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report, the former five-star recruit out of Detroit’s Cass Tech HS is re-signing with the team on a deal that
