New Detroit Lions’ linebacker Grant Stuard has been around the block before in the NFL. The fifth-year linebacker spent his rookie season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the last three with the Indianapolis Colts. Two well-run, respectable franchises. However, having spent a little time in the Lions’ offseason program, Stuard has quickly noticed that…

On Monday, Detroit Lions fans mourned the retirement of All-Pro center Frank Ragnow, and celebrated his outstanding seven-year career. It was a day of mixed emotions, as it undoubtedly hurts the Lions’ chances to continue their success, but it’s also hard not to feel happy for the player who battled chronic injuries for a half-decade…

It’s June 2, and that means the NFL world is discussing how NFL teams have taken advantage of their Post-June 1 designations, clearing much-needed salary cap space for their franchises.

Based on our most recent approval poll, most Detroit Lions fans are pretty darn happy with the job General Manager Brad Holmes is doing. He’s currently sitting on a 96 percent approval rating—which is actually the lowest it’s been in nearly three years. That just goes to show you how high the bar Holmes has…

The Detroit Lions have built themselves a talented roster, but how talented is it amongst the league’s best? Preseason football is still months away, and we are in limbo between seasons. Some folks are focused on the season to come, making OTA observations and roster analyses. Some are still looking at the year that was,…

Hey, here’s an idea: how about we let Jameson Williams play this upcoming season before we start making plans for his future, yeah? I know. I get it. You’re still not over how he missed the majority of his rookie season with an ACL injury he suffered in the National Championship game that same year.…
