Pride of Detroit

The Detroit Lions have tendered offers to all three of their exclusive rights free agents, fullback Jason Cabinda, offensive tackle Matt Nelson and punter Jack Fox. Exclusive rights free agents are players with fewer than three accrued seasons whose contracts have expired. By tendering an offer to these three players, the Lions have essentially assured

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is still forbidden by NFL rules to discuss the Matthew Stafford trade, and therefore, give direct thoughts about the team’s quarterback situation, including Jared Goff, who is expected to be the starter in 2021 and maybe beyond. However, as Campbell does the media rounds this week, he’s found more

With the 2021 NFL just around the corner, the new Detroit Lions regime may want to take a look at the franchise’s draft history and learn from the past. In the Lions’ case, some things have panned out — and some have most certainly not. Pro Football Focus’ Michael Renner combed through picks and offers

You have to look at the Detroit Lions 2020 season and ask yourself just one question: Did the Lions establish the run game? Clearly, the answer, yet once more was: No. As much as former head coach Matt Patricia and former offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell staked their reputations and philosophies on running the dang football,

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson joined the “Bussin with the Boys” podcast recently, and showed off a little personality we’ve yet to really see from the 2019 first-round pick. The podcast, hosted by Titans linebacker Will Compton and (for this episode) 49ers tight end George Kittle, dove into Hockenson’s thoughts on several topics, ranging

With only a handful of pass catchers on the roster, the Detroit Lions are going to be in the market to add several talented skill players. While most assume that means signing or drafting wide receivers, it’s important to not overlook the value of adding a “big skill” player at tight end. Lions’ coach Dan

On Wednesday the Detroit Lions reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with former Las Vegas Raiders receiver Tyrell Williams. Williams has a link to Anthony Lynn, who was his head coach with the Chargers for two seasons. This signing had me thinking of two different scenarios. One of which could drastically change the landscape of

The first (notable) player signing of the Brad Holmes era comes by way of Tyrell Williams. It makes sense in many ways from his ties to Anthony Lynn (playing for Lynn’s Chargers in 2017 and ‘18) to the Lions receiving core being the thinnest unit on the team. His price tag is reasonable (one year,

Forgive some NFL pundits for being a little overdramatic, but the league is about to enter uncharted territory in the next couple weeks. With the start of the new league year less than two weeks away, teams will have to get under the mandated salary cap, which has yet to be set, but is expected

The Detroit Lions are signing free agent Tyrell Williams to a one-year deal and reuniting him with offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn. The full details of the deal are not out yet, but reports suggest he’ll have a base salary of $4.7 million and the contract is worth up to $6.2 million. Williams spent his first

The Detroit Lions got a jump start on free agency Wednesday. The team has reportedly agreed to terms with former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Per the report, the deal is worth “up to $6.2 million,” but there are no details yet on the structure of the contract.

From the minute he walked in the door at Allen Park, new Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has been trying to dispel the notion that he’s a old-school mentality kind of coach. He knew, given his gritty personality, that he would give off that impression, and he jumped ahead of it during his introductory

With the Detroit Lions’ new regime in place, one of the main goals appears to be creating a culture shift. It’s a term we’ve become accustomed to hearing from every new face that comes into Detroit, whether they promise to finally “hold players accountable” (whatever that means) or “establish a championship mentality” (more hollow words).

The 40-yard dash can be very exciting. People love to watch speed and players can create exciting, near-mythical stories with displays of athleticism that will follow them beyond their careers. From Calvin Johnson’s 4.35-second 40-yard dash in someone else’s shoes to Deion Sanders’ running 4.27-seconds and leaving the building because he had done enough are

Last week, Chris Spielman raised some eyebrows when he mentioned the role that Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp had played thus far in their offseason meetings. “Well, Sheila has been involved by being in all these personnel meetings. She sat in two days of offensive free agency meetings and defensive free agency meetings,” Spielman

The difference between the QuinnTricia regime and the Campbell/Holmes (Hompbell? Holbell? Let’s brainstorm.) regime has been night and day, and we haven’t even seen any football happen yet. Of course, the only change that ultimately matters is the number of wins come January, but we’ll get there when we get there. Question of the day:

Dan Campbell has made himself quite available to the public in the month he’s spent as Detroit Lions head coach. He’s joined “Good Morning Football,” he’s made personal Twitter videos to Lions fans, and he’s even held private Zoom calls with season ticket holders to introduce himself to the city. On Wednesday, Campbell will continue

Everyone in the NFL is hurting in regards to the salary cap this year. The bump, if there will be one at all, is not expected to be that great, leaving some teams with little room to maneuver as they head into the new league calendar in 15 days. Unfortunately for the Detroit Lions, the

On Tuesday morning, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell was asked which positions he believed to be a priority this offseason after spending the last month on the job analyzing his own roster. His answers were quite revealing. “It’s no secret that wide receiver is somewhat of a need,” Campbell said. “Cornerback, we don’t have

Every year, general managers and coaches from across the league speak to the media at the NFL Combine, but with the event canceled this year, the Detroit Lions made general manager Brad Holmes available to the local media Tuesday morning via Zoom. Holmes discussed a variety of topics but made a point to address the
