Akil Baddoo’s debut would be a great story even if the Detroit Tigers were the defending champs and the other big four teams here had made recent deep playoff runs, too. Not many longshot prospects hit the first big-league pitch they ever see over the fence and follow that up with a grand slam and

If the Detroit Lions are going to have any chance to be competitive this upcoming season, they’ll need to come away with a stellar draft class as several young Leos will need to contribute immediately and play major roles. None more important than the first-round selection. Owning the seventh overall pick in the draft, the
Bob Quinn caught heat last spring when he used the No. 3 pick of the NFL draft on Jeff Okudah. For most Detroit Lions fans, the problem wasn’t that Quinn took Okudah but that he used the No. 3 pick at all. Trade down, people pleaded, and while it was true the Lions could have

Entering this offseason, the Detroit Lions had several questions at the safety position. And through the first few weeks of free agency, the Lions had yet to address them. Detroit figured once again to wait until the NFL draft later this month to do so. After all, their current duo of projected starting safeties was
The Lions added more depth in the secondary Thursday, announcing the free-agent signing of safety Dean Marlowe, who spent the last three seasons with the Buffalo Bills. Marlowe, 28, has mostly played in a backup role and on special teams in the NFL since making the Carolina Panthers roster as an undrafted rookie in 2015.
Dan Campbell said the Detroit Lions‘ plan in free agency was to make sure they had enough depth at every position so general manager Brad Holmes did not feel forced into taking a position in this month’s NFL draft. On Thursday, the Lions filled one of their last remaining needs in the secondary, signing former
Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams (Photo by Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports) The Detroit Lions have no shortage of needs heading into the draft. With that being the case, should they add to their biggest strength with their top-pick? We are three weeks away from the NFL draft and trades continue to shape the top of
I decided to take a different approach with my third mock draft of the spring. By now, we all know that quarterbacks are destined to go with at least the first three picks of the draft, and there’s a very real chance they could go 1, 2, 3, 4 for the first time in NFL
The projected run of quarterbacks to be taken in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft could be historic. And the Detroit Lions might just be one of the teams dipping their collective toes into the passer market. To kick off their latest rebuild, the new regime in the Motor City traded away longtime
Amani Oruwariye got a nice reward for his first season as a starter. Oruwariye led all Detroit Lions in performance-based pay, according to numbers released by the NFL Players Association. A fifth-round pick out of Penn State in 2019 who started 15 games last season, Oruwariye will receive an extra $572,067 for his play in
Wide receiver Charles Rogers #80 of the Detroit Lions (Photo by Danny Moloshok/Getty Images) The jokes about the Detroit Lions drafting a wide receiver in the first round might still ring in fans’ heads from the 2000s, even if Calvin Johnson put an end to the laughter for a few years. But that shouldn’t be
This offseason, the new regime for the Detroit Lions opted to part ways with several players. Two of them happened to be starters at the cornerback position. The Lions cut both Justin Coleman and Desmond Trufant earlier this year. Coleman started 15 games for Detroit over the past two years and was the NFL’s highest-paid
Lions general manager Brad Holmes made it clear last week he wasn’t done adding to his defensive roster depth in the secondary. Soon after, the team agreed to a one-year contract with veteran Corn Elder, who played primarily as a nickel corner for Carolina last season. Now the Lions have added another veteran cornerback in
Quinton Dunbar came into the NFL as a wide receiver and quickly found a home on the defensive side of the ball. Now, Dunbar is looking for a fresh start with one of the coaches who helped make his switch to cornerback a success. Dunbar signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions on Monday,
Another day, another quarterback trade in the NFL. And this one could make it more likely that the Detroit Lions stay at No. 7. The Carolina Panthers traded a sixth-round pick in this month’s draft and second-and fourth-round choices next year to the New York Jets on Monday for quarterback Sam Darnold. LIONS MAILBAG: Best
The Lions’ potential trade-down options at the top of this month’s NFL draft took another hit Monday, as one more quarterback-needy team managed to strike a deal elsewhere. This time it was Carolina sending a package of three picks — second- and fourth-round selections in 2022 along with a 2021 sixth-rounder — to the New
