The Detroit Lions added another free agent offensive lineman to the offseason player list. On Tuesday, the Lions announced they have signed OL Netane Muti to a reserve/future contract. Muti, 24, played in two games for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023 but only on special teams. He was a guard for three seasons with
Futures deals are essentially camp invites that will allow players to compete for roster spots during offseason workouts and training camp. Muti, 24, was selected by the Broncos in the sixth round of the 2020 draft out of Fresno State. He signed a four-year, $3,500,792 contract that included $205,792 guaranteed with Denver. The Broncos waived
Watching all the guys racking up yards on the Detroit Lions’ offense like it’s nothing, you wouldn’t believe a good chunk of them are rookies. With a number of stars showing out on the defense as well, the Lions earned an A- from NFL.com’s Eric Edholm, who took a back at the rookie class of…
It is finally draft season for Lions fans. Brad Holmes and his front office have proven they are very capable of putting together great draft classes. They have had major hits on every day of the draft, but especially on Day Two. This roster isn’t in desperate need of much because of his work, but
The Detroit Lions offseason is getting underway and we’re getting close to the acquisition phase of this whole thing with every passing day. The big question here is what positions do the Lions absolutely need to fill this offseason and where should they fill each one of them? The draft or free agency? That’s what
The Detroit Lions just completed their most successful season in at least 30 years, and owner Sheila Hamp showed some gratitude in a letter sent to season ticket holders via email on Monday.

There was no slowing down this offense in 2023. The Detroit Lions offense, led by offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, would finish the season fifth in points (27.1 per game), second in passing yards (258.9 per game), fifth in rushing yards (135.9), and third in total touchdowns (58). While the offense is a run-heavy scheme, it…
Among the names circulating as potential replacements for Jackson, two stand out: Randle El and Ward. Both are beloved figures in the Steelers’ storied history, and either appointment would likely excite the fan base. Notably, Randle El and Ward shared a memorable moment during Super Bowl XL when Randle El threw a 43-yard touchdown pass
Detroit fans looking to make a big trip to watch the Lions play in a new location will have to wait. With the NFL’s announcement that the Philadelphia Eagles will be the host team for the league’s first-ever regular season game in Brazil, it rules out the Lions from making the trip to Sao Paulo.
That presser from Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes on Monday was electric.

A torn pectoral muscle caused him…
