Still months out from the season opener, Jared Goff has yet again emerged as a dark horse candidate for the NFL’s Most Valuable Player. “If the Lions win like they did last season, Goff will almost certainly again deserve serious consideration,” writes NFLcom’s Judy Battista, who included JG on her list of potential MVP candidates…

I never thought I’d be saying this while writing about the Detroit Lions, but man, a big shoutout to Kash Doll. On a serious note, dating Kash Doll may not directly end up helping to facilitate defensive end Za’Darius Smith’s desire to return to the Motor City, but it certainly might be helping the Lions…

“Brain Drain.” It’s the one term that every Lions fan is already sick and tired of hearing. Of course, when you lose two of the best coordinators in the NFL in Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn to their own well-deserved head coaching jobs, that’s going to be a story. It doesn’t help that center Frank…

One of the bigger challenges facing the Detroit Lions in the upcoming years is the ability to retain all of the talent they currently have. General Manager Brad Holmes has talked about this issue several times over the past year, noting that difficult decisions are headed his way. Detroit has been able to find success…

This week, free agent pass rusher Za’Darius Smith made it clear he would love to play for the Detroit Lions again in 2025. “We both know where I want to be,” Smith told USA TODAY. “Hopefully I can get back to Detroit because the coaching staff and everybody in the front office are great. When…

Welcome to another installment in SB Nation’s Reacts survey series. This week, we are asking Detroit Lions fans one question: Will you be watching the Michigan Panthers in the UFL Championship? You may not have noticed, but near the end of March—right in between the NFL’s free agency and draft events—the United Football League (UFL)…

The Detroit Lions were already in the process of replacing one solid starter on the offensive line, but now they need to do it with two. After OTAs, a new picture is emerging of what the new line could look like, but there’s still a lot of concern across the land as to how this…

Lifelong Detroit Lions fan turned draft pick Isaac TeSlaa did not disappoint when it came to painting the Lions logo from memory. Each year, the NFL challenges a few rookies to attempt to paint their new team logo without he help of a picture. We’ve seen some brutal attempts, but TeSlaa, in my opinion, did…

The UFL will play its second championship game on Saturday, June 14, at 8 p.m. ET. The game will feature the local Michigan Panthers team as they take on the DC Defenders. For many, the Panthers’ inclusion in the championship game may be enough for Detroit Lions fans to tune in. However, if you need…

With the sudden retirement of center Frank Ragnow, Detroit Lions fans have lost not only a great player, but one of the more beloved people on the team’s roster. The good news is, by design, the Lions have been accumulating a ton of players like Ragnow over the past five years: extremely talented on the…

Terrion Arnold was one of the many players who we didn’t end up seeing on the field during OTAs, as the Detroit Lions were overly cautious with many players during their spring practices. However, talking to some of the players who were in attendance, it appears the second-year cornerback is still managing to make a…

According to several reports, the Green Bay Packers will be releasing veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander on Monday. The news comes after an offseason of speculation on what the team was going to do with the cornerback. Alexander has been an undeniable talent for Green Bay, earning two Pro Bowl appearances and a pair of second-team…

In the NFL, success can be fleeting. One successful season does not always translate into continued success. Many supposed dynasties have fallen apart after a year or two. Many players have crashed and burned after a one-year wonder. Many teams have suffered injuries or had their luck swing against them. At the end of the…

Following Detroit Lions Frank Ragnow’s retirement earlier this week, fans wanted to show their appreciation for what he meant to them and the city. Some posted messages to him on social media, while others wrote appreciation articles about him. However, another group of individuals donated to Ragnow’s charity, the “Rags Remembered Foundation.”

Today, let’s designate what I think should be called the John Cominsky Award. The John Cominsky Award is given out to the player who doesn’t get enough credit or attention. On our podcast, it has essentially become a meme to say, “People aren’t talking enough about John Cominsky,” to a point where we were definitely…

Frank Ragnow’s unexpected retirement sent a wave of emotion through the Detroit Lions fanbase. He was still playing at an elite level—dominating the trenches, anchoring the offensive line, and embodying the team’s gritty identity with remarkable durability. After years of doing the dirty work, Ragnow has stepped away—and now he deserves the spotlight. That’s why…

It’s been a tough week for Detroit Lions fans. With many already predicting the downfall of the team simply due to the loss of both offensive and defensive coordinators, the retirement of Frank Ragnow only adds another arrow to the quiver of doubters. It’s a massive loss, no doubt, and one Detroit now has months…

On Monday, Detroit Lions All-Pro center Frank Ragnow surprised the fan base when he announced his retirement from the NFL.

The Detroit Lions hosted their sixth and final OTA of the Spring on Thursday, wrapping up offseason activities until they report back for training camp later in July.

On Thursday, the Detroit Lions will wrap up their sixth and final Organized Team Activity (OTA) practice of the spring, and coach Dan Campbell addressed the media for the final time before training camp.
