In the Detroit Lions mailbag segment, we discuss the Detroit Lions’ potential trade for Chase Young the edge rusher from the Washington Commanders. Should the Lions trade for him? Also, how many sacks should Aidan Hutchinson get in 2023? If the Lions make the Superbowl, would fans say it is a fluke? Could Kerby Joseph
After trading for kicker Riley Patterson last week, the Detroit Lions now have three kickers fighting for the starting job in Patterson, Parker Romo and Michael Badgley. It’s hard to say who has had the edge so far, but with Organized Team Activities (OTAs) kicking off, it’s the first chance for any of those guys…
The Detroit Lions surprised a lot of people when they traded up back into the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft to take Western Kentucky defensive tackle Brodric Martin. In fact, Martin was caught off guard, too. While setting up for a Day 3 draft party—when he was expecting to get drafted—he received the…
He’s not this year’s first-round pick or last year’s star of “Hard Knocks,” and that’s why it was a surprise to see Derrick Barnes taking first-team reps at linebacker when the Detroit Lions opened organized team activities last week. Barnes, a fourth-round pick out of Purdue in 2021, has been the most overlooked member of
This is Part 1 of the Free Press’ “Five most important players” series, in which we’ll take a look at the x-factors for the six major beats. Freep Lions beat writer Dave Birkett consulted on this list. Starting this series with a look at the Detroit Lions is an interesting challenge. That’s because there are

Allen Park — One of the first times I noticed that Penei Sewell’s voice really was starting to carry for the Lions came in a quiet moment last October. It was at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., in the aftermath of an embarrassing 29-0 loss to the Patriots that head coach Dan Campbell called “rock
Allen Park — Kerby Joseph isn’t a gambler, so he didn’t have any interest in discussing the league’s gambling policy. He also didn’t object to Jameson Williams’ six-game suspension handed out by the league in April for placing bets, nor did he offer an excuse for his teammate’s actions. But still, following Thursday’s OTAs in
Allen Park — With the NFL reportedly investigating a fifth Detroit Lions player for violating the league’s gambling policy, the team is taking an active approach to making sure these issues don’t come up again. “I think, for us, it’s much more an emphasis from us, as opposed to just leaving it to the league,”
The Lions held the second session of OTAs open to the media on a sunny, hot Thursday afternoon to kick off June. It’s still non-contact and voluntary, so drawing any conclusions from what we saw is way too hasty, but there were a few interesting developments from the practice fields in Allen Park. Here are
We have all been there before. You buy that new Detroit Lions jersey before the season, and you are excited about it. You can’t wait to wear it that year and in future years. How cool will it look when it gets worn over the years? Like that vintage Chris Spielman or Herman Moore jersey…
At just 22 years old, Penei Sewell is already becoming a leader. Drafted seventh overall in the 2021 NFL Draft came with a lot of pressure. But he’s fit right in on what is considered to be one of the best offensive lines in the league—and he himself has proven to be one of the…
I listened to Jameson Williams last week. Then I listened to Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell on Thursday. And now, with a week of careful consideration between the two, I have something to say. Williams must do two things: He has to grow up — fast — and he should apologize to Jared Goff.
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said he has taken a more proactive approach to educating players on the NFL’s gambling policy after at least four Lions were found to have violated league rules on betting. “I think, for us, it’s much more an emphasis from us, as opposed to just leaving it to the league,”
It has been 10 months since Levi Onwuzurike last played football, but the Detroit Lions are cautiously optimistic he’ll be back on the field this summer. Coach Dan Campbell said Onwuzurike recently began running in his rehab from back surgery and could be cleared for football activities at some point in training camp. “I would
On this week’s episode of Twentyman in the Huddle presented by Microsoft, Tim Twentyman is joined by two members of the Detroit Lions’ offensive line group. First, assistant offensive line coach Steve Oliver hops on the podcast to discuss coaching alongside Hank Fraley, his college football career at San Diego, the importance of Frank Ragnow

Allen Park — It was far from perfect, but the Detroit Lions’ offense exceeded most reasonable expectations in Ben Johnson’s first year as offensive coordinator. To recap, in 2022 the Lions finished fourth in yards per game, fifth in scoring, committed the fewest turnovers in the NFL and posted the franchise’s best rushing average in
Back in early May—a few weeks after four Detroit Lions, including first-round wide receiver Jameson Williams, were suspended for gambling—safety Kerby Joseph tweeted the words “FREE JAMO.” The statement appeared to be support for his teammate and quite possibly a statement against the NFL’s gambling policy, which Williams claims he wasn’t clear of when he…
The backflips are out, but Kerby Joseph will never stop having fun. On Thursday, at the Detroit Lions‘ sixth organized team activity practice of the spring, Joseph returned an interception for a would-be touchdown in seven-on-seven drills; danced in celebration as his offensive teammates did planks after losing a kicking competition (more on that later);
