Pride of Detroit

I am not really good at this kind of thing, but I at least have to try. I know a lot of you know who Andy Isaac is. The man’s sense of humor and sheer love of life was infectious, and those qualities are a few of the many reasons so many people gravitated to…

Meko Scott and I (Morgan Cannon) are back on the Pride of Detroit YouTube channel, discussing the outlook for the Detroit Lions at the cornerback position with free agency set to open next week.

The Detroit Lions are revoking season tickets from people who are reportedly violating their ticket policy and reselling tickets, according to a few fans.

One of the biggest checkmarks on the Detroit Lions’ 2025 offseason to-do list is to extend elite pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson to a new deal.

The Detroit Lions face their most important free agency yet in 2025.

Late on Tuesday, the New Orleans Saints announced they’ve released veteran running back Jamaal Williams after two seasons with the team.

As the offseason bulldozes forward, the edge rusher position outside of Aidan Hutchinson remains a major focal point for the Detroit Lions. Hutchinson is expected to be at full strength by mandatory minicamp, Josh Paschal enters Year 4 as a reliable edge-setter, and the team faces a decision on Za’Darius Smith’s contract. Beyond that, the…

Last week, it was reported the Los Angeles Rams were looking to trade guard Jonah Jackson just one year after signing him away from the Detroit Lions in free agency. It appears they have already found a trade partner, as the Chicago Bears are finalizing a deal that would send a sixth-round pick to the…

One of the easier decisions an NFL team makes in the offseason is the fate of their exclusive-rights free agents, or ERFAs. Simply put, ERFAs are players on expiring contracts who have played fewer than three seasons in the NFL (Note: You only accrue a season if you were on the roster or an injury…

NFL free agency will open up with the tampering period on March 10 at 12 p.m. ET.

As expected, the Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly releasing veteran cornerback Darius Slay ahead the NFL’s new league year—which starts on March 12. Per Adam Schefter, it will be designated as a post-June 1 release, which means the $22.7 million in dead cap from the move will be split between 2025 ($9.4 million) and 2026 ($13.3…

With the NFL Scouting Combine wrapped up, the league calendar groans on towards its inexorable end, awaiting the new one; and with it comes free agency, tampering, all kinds of noise that will take our attention away from the draft. Before that happens, let’s talk about all those men who performed well at the Combine,…

The 2025 NFL Combine is in the books, and we are officially on draft watch. Prospects will have their pro days in the coming weeks, but the Combine was the biggest stage to impress scouts. Although it is jokingly called the Underwear Olympics, the Combine highlights the athleticism—or lack thereof—of many prospects. Additionally, the meetings…

The final day of media sessions at the NFL Combine was for the offensive line prospects. I was told it’s arguably the best day of the NFL Combine week, not only because offensive linemen can be highly entertaining, but because much of the media clears out, and it gives you a chance to ask more…

The Detroit Lions were the most-bet team of the 2024 season, per an ESPN roundup of the year’s sports betting trends.
