St. Brown saw Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson briefly in the hallway of the team’s Allen Park practice facility after he finished his end-of-season exit interview with receivers coach Antwaan Randle El.

In the Detroit Lions mailbag segment, we discuss if the Detroit Lions could trade away D’Andre Swift like they traded away Jeffrey Okudah. The Lions need to be able to have the best 53-man roster to win the division. Should the Lions trade away Swift? Also, should the Lions look to trade for LB Devon
We’re two years removed from the 2021 NFL Draft, but it’s safe to say already that it was a wildly successful draft for the Detroit Lions and for general manager Brad Holmes. It was Holmes’ first year as GM, and he was able to select a cornerstone prospect in offensive tackle Penei Sewell with the…

The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of the most exciting teams at the end of the 2022 season. They were the AFC’s version of the Detroit Lions, but in a worse division that allowed them to host—and win—a playoff game. Now they’re hoping to take the next step.
The Detroit Lions were reportedly interested in free agent tight end Foster Moreau, before his situation took a dramatic turn. The Detroit Lions tight ends did just fine after T.J. Hockenson was traded last season, but the position is begging for an addition and now it’s most likely to come in the draft. In an
