The Detroit Lions could make a uniform change this year, but if a change is made it will wait until at least 2023. Under NFL rules, teams can make a uniform change every five years. That means the Detroit Lions could do so this year, having last done so in 2017. It was among the

The NFL Draft is quickly approaching. Before your team adds some new talent, make sure you’ve got your 2022 Detroit Lions Draft hat. New Era’s NFL Draft hats are usually hit and miss. Luckily, the 2022 version is way more hit. Which is why you’re going to want to pick up a Detroit Lions Draft

They were never a realistic destination, but team president Rod Wood confirmed the Lions did not seriously pursue a trade for Deshaun Watson. The Detroit Lions are looking for their next franchise quarterback, assuming Jared Goff doesn’t somehow show he is that guy next season. However that ultimately looks, they did not aggressively pursue a

The Detroit Lions have apparently started their “top-30” pre-draft visits, with a wide receiver out of the Big 12 Conference.

If the Detroit Lions want to make sure they get Aidan Hutchinson, what would it take to trade up to No. 1 overall?

Even updated as they profess to be, ESPN’s unit grades for each NFL team shows how far the Detroit Lions have to go. By all accounts, albeit only one season in and now in a second offseason, the Detroit Lions are on the right track under the direction of general manager Brad Holmes and head

The Detroit Lions have been frequently linked to Aidan Hutchinson, but what if the talented edge rusher is gone at No. 2 overall? The Detroit Lions only nibbled in free agency. Most fans seem to get it, but others don’t. It’s clear the focus for adding impact talent will be the draft. For many, with the

After an at-times promising 2021 campaign, is Julian Okwara set for a total breakout in 2022? If you were to list need areas for the Detroit Lions, defensive line and pass rush would be high on the list and perhaps in equal tandem. With the potential of adding an edge rusher in the 2022 draft

After one season with the New York Jets, former Lions’ first-round pick Jarrad Davis is coming back to Detroit. One year ago or so, as the new regime in Detroit reshaped the roster, linebacker Jarrad Davis signed with the New York Jets in free agency. Now, after that one season away, the Detroit Lions have

Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner is not among the popular options with the No. 2 overall pick, but the Detroit Lions will still have him in for a pre-draft visit.

There’s plenty of positive buzz about D’Andre Swift in fantasy football circles, and a post-free agency mock from CBS adds to it. In what amounted to 10 games of substantial action last season, Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift posted more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage (1,069). Counting the game he suffered a shoulder injury

With rumors suggesting he’s available, the Detroit Lions should be among the teams looking to make a deal for DeVante Parker. The Miami Dolphins made a blockbuster move this week, trading five draft picks to the Kansas City Chiefs for wide receiver Tyreek Hill. With Jaylen Waddle already in place and the earlier signing of

Another metric, this time from Football Outsiders, shows how much the Detroit Lions were impacted by injuries last season. The Detroit Lions were not expected to be any good in 2021, so a 3-13-1 finish was par for the course and not that earth-shattering. But they also lost the most games in the league to injury

The Seattle Seahawks look like a potential trade partner for the Detroit Lions to trade down in the draft, but would DK Metcalf be on the table? Should the Lions want him? The Detroit Lions have mostly sat idle while the NFL offseason activity rages around them. Such is life with a calculated plan to

In Mock Draft 3.0 from NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, the Detroit Lions double-up on former Georgia Bulldog defensive players.
