Jameson Williams is a pretty easy early breakout candidate for the 2023 season, and an ESPN fantasy analyst is on the bandwagon. After a limited six-game ramp up to end his rookie season, as he worked his way back to full strength coming off a torn ACL, the bar is being set higher for Detroit

Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey seems to be available, and Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown took an opportunity to recruit him.

Amon-Ra St. Brown openly called to have more deep passes come his way, and Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has heard his best receiver’s request.

Duce Staley is not the only assistant coach the Detroit Lions are losing to the Carolina Panthers, as defensive line coach Todd Wash is also making that move. The Detroit Lions didn’t want to lose assistant head coach/running backs coach Duce Staley. But his mom’s health situation prompted a move to the same position on

The respect is coming for Lions quarterback Jared Goff, as he has landed in the top-10 of another ranking. Jared Goff just had one of the best seasons of his career. He has locked himself in as the Detroit Lions starting quarterback next season, and for some he should not be dethroned in 2024, etc.

It was a matter of formality, but wide receiver DJ Chark’s contract with the Detroit Lions has voided. The Detroit Lions signed wide receiver DJ Chark to a one-year, $10 million deal last offseason.

The door is open for Lamar Jackson to leave the Baltimore Ravens, and the Detroit Lions keep popping up as a potential suitor. If the Baltimore Ravens somehow bridge a reported signficant gap on a long-term deal, or they just franchise tag him, then the conversation will become moot. But as we sit right now,

Not that the Dan Campbell ‘tooth’ story was a fib or unbelievable, but Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has confirmed it.

It feels inevitable he’ll just re-sign, but one of these five teams could sign Jamaal Williams away from the Detroit Lions in free agency. After a solid first season with the Detroit Lions in 2021 (601 rushing yards), Jamaal Williams took it to another level in 2022. He was the franchise’s first 1,000-yard rusher since

It’s not an earth-shattering development, but Todd McShay has the Detroit Lions adding two pieces to their defense in his new mock draft. In theory, the Detroit Lions can viably go multiple different directions with their two first-round picks in April. Ask fans, and they want defense, defense, defense. That thought is certainly justified, given

The Detroit Lions didn’t really need extra motivation before Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers, but Dan Campbell found some fodder to do so.

In a new three-round mock from NFL.com, the Detroit Lions go an interesting direction with some of the picks.

Hired by the Lions a week ago, assistant head coach/running backs coach Scottie Montgomery has interviewed for the offensive coordinator job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last Monday, Feb. 6, it was first reported the Detroit Lions were hiring Scottie Montgomery as their new assistant head coach and running backs coach replacing Duce Staley. A

If DJ Chark leaves in free agency, the Detroit Lions could target one of these 10 options to replace him. In dire need of a wide receiver who could stretch the field, the Detroit Lions took a one-year flier on DJ Chark last offseason. A Pro Bowler with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019, Chark missed
