Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has often conveyed the message that they don’t approach the NFL Draft with needs in mind. Their primary goal is to get good football players, and then figure out how they can fit within their overall plans after. That strategy certainly seems to have worked thus far, as Holmes’…
Last week, we broke down the contract of Detroit Lions free agent addition D.J. Reed. It was notable because it was structured a little differently than we’ve seen in previous Lions contracts. Most notably, instead of Reed having a high salary in the final season of his three-year contract, the Lions are putting that money…

While this certainly narrows the focus for several teams, that’s not the case for the Detroit Lions. With the Lions’ roster in such good…
It’s not easy having an abundance of talent in the NFL. In the salary cap era, the league has purposely tried to make it hard for one team to hoard all of the talent, even if that team managed to find those players all on their own through the draft. It’s only a matter of…
In the thick of free agency, the Detroit Lions signed Roy Lopez, a defensive lineman formerly of the Arizona Cardinals. After learning a bit more about Lopez, it came as no surprise the Lions coveted a tough, high-motor player with a strong track record in the trenches. Lopez has proven himself as a stout run…

The Detroit Lions are bringing back cornerback Khalil Dorsey. The team announced on Thursday he has re-signed for the 2025 season, but did not offer any contract details. Dorsey entered the league in 2020 as an undrafted prospect with the Baltimore Ravens. After a couple of years in Baltimore, Dorsey eventually found his way onto…
Once again the Detroit Lions are in the mix to make some changes in the NFL with three rule proposals. Jeremy’s got a breakdown here to check out first, but a basic overview: one rule would get rid of automatic first downs on illegal contact and defensive holding penalties. Another rule would change playoff seeding…
