The Detroit Lions made a big splash in free agency when they signed former Bengals defensive lineman DJ Reader. Arguably one of the best nose tackles in the NFL. Before they could sign him, they brought him in for a visit in Detroit. That’s where they took a bit of confident risk. The Lions flew
In just a few short years, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has made a name for himself wheeling and dealing in the NFL world. Once again he’s turned some heads—this time that of Yahoo Sports’ Frank Schwab, who listed one of the Lions general manager’s offseason moves as among the top five in the…
Tyler Boyd has been connected to a host of teams this offseason. The veteran remains one of the market’s top wide receivers, but the longtime Bengals slot presence clearly has not seen his market reach an acceptable price point. Tied to the Chiefs, Jets and his hometown Steelers thus far, Boyd may have some other options. The
As the NFL Draft inches closer at the tail end of this month, we’re going division-by-division, breaking down the betting odds for the position of each team’s first pick. Today, we look to the NFC North, who sportsbooks have offered just two teams. The Chicago Bears are drafting first, and all but certainly are grabbing
The Detroit Lions are in need of another wide receiver after losing Josh Reynolds to free agency, and according to Mark Kaboly of The Athletic, they have expressed interest in Tyler Boyd. Boyd is probably the best wide out remaining on the free-agent market, and surprisingly, he is still unsigned. The 29-year-old is coming off
After picking 12 starters or major contributors in the past three drafts, the Detroit Lions will try to match that success April 25-27 at the NFL Draft in downtown Detroit.

The details of quarterback Nate Sudfeld’s new contract are now in, and the Lions locked up their No. 3 quarterback with an interesting deal. Sudfeld, who spent all of 2023 on the Lions’ injured reserve, is back in Detroit on a one-year deal worth $1.21 million, per Spotrac. That’s a pretty inexpensive deal, but it’s
The New England Patriots hold the third overall pick, and it may be the biggest turning point of the top of the 2024 NFL Draft. These are not your Patriots of old. The roster is in shambles, Bill Belichick is gone, and the Patriots are coming off back-to-back losing seasons for the first time 1992-93.
April is here and that means the 2024 NFL Draft is just over the horizon. We’ll finally get to see where all these names we’ve been staring at for months wind up in the league and which of them wind up with the Detroit Lions. The Lions have had a lot of draft picks in
It’s finally April, and that means we’re just weeks away from the 2024 NFL Draft. As we get closer to the big event, we begin to narrow our focus on which prospects fit the Detroit Lions culture/scheme, but with three weeks of free agency additions in the books, it’s a good time to get a…
In the last three NFL drafts, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has managed to find multiple starters every year. In 2021, he found starters in Penei Sewell, Alim McNeill, Amon-Ra St. Brown—and late bloomers Ifeatu Melifonwu and Derrick Barnes. That’s a ridiculous haul, in retrospect. The following year, he acquired Aidan Hutchinson and Kerby…
With a bit of a lull between the owners meetings and the 2024 NFL draft, it felt like a good time to post a mailbag episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast. Logistics have prevented a live show, but we’re still cranking out Lions info and analysis. There are loads of topics and questions from the
In recent weeks, the Detroit Lions have seen significant changes in their secondary. First, they traded for cornerback Carlton Davis and then they signed cornerback Amik Robertson.
