Emptying the notebook before heading out on summer vacation … Amon-Ra St. Brown feels a bit overlooked this offseason. The Detroit Lions overhauled their wide receiver room this spring, signing DJ Chark and trading up to draft Jameson Williams, but St. Brown remains the Lions’ best receiver and will be a key cog in the

Jermar Jefferson’s special teams resume coming out of college consisted of two kick returns for 32 yards.

Matthew Stafford sold his Bloomfield Township home late last summer, five months before leading the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl championship. Now, the quarterback he was traded for has put his California crib up for sale. Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has listed his Hidden Hills home for $7.5 million, the Los Angeles
