The Detroit Lions’ 2024-25 season ended in shocking disappointment. After dominating the competition throughout the regular season and earning the No. 1 seed, the Lions fell flat on their face against the Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Injuries and a lack of depth, especially on the defensive side of the ball,

There’s one thing we’re definitely not going to do and that is come here and say that Ben Johnson was a bad offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions. He was spectacular and was a big reason why the Lions had one of the league’s top offenses for the last three years in a row.  That

On Thursday it was announced that the Detroit Lions were making another coaching hire. This time they’re bringing in Texas running backs coach Tashard Choice to take over that very same role with Detroit.  This is big proof of two things.

The Detroit Lions lost a lot of coaches this offseason and it has caused them to have to go out and reload with new guys. So far they’ve made a bunch of different hires and with all these racking up, it’s getting hard to keep track of.  So here’s a layout of what the staff

Dave Birkett adds Scottie Montgomery is moving to WR coach from RB coach to replace former WR coach Antwaan Randle El who joined Ben Johnson’s staff in Chicago. Choice, 40, was a fourth-round pick out of Georgia Tech by the Cowboys in 2008. He went on to play for Washington, the Bills, and the Colts

After a few strong seasons with the New York Jets, cornerback D.J. Reed looks like the best cornerback available on the free agent market. While he hasn’t earned any league-wide accolades, Reed has had a strong first seven seasons in the NFL. He has six interceptions and 50 pass breakups in 101 games and has

The Detroit Lions are not afraid to go international. They showed that last year when they drafted Tongan-born Canadian offensive lineman Giovanni Manu in the fourth-round of the 2024 NFL Draft.  The idea with Manu is that he has unbelievable size, athleticism, and strength, but that he’s green. The Lions want to fashion him into

This article was inspired by a few different things. One of them is some crazy Detroit Lions fans who wonder if the team should trade with the Rams to get Matthew Stafford back. That is definitely not happening by the way.  The other is that Jalen Reeves-Maybin returned to the Lions in 2023 and had

This is a big offseason for the Detroit Lions. They can go out and have a solid free agency and solid draft and be right back in the driver’s seat for a shot at a third NFC North title and a trip to the Super Bowl.  Before that, there are questions about who the Lions

There is no doubt that the Detroit Lions need some help on the edge. We saw them deal with a lot of injuries to starters this season and then we saw the depth guys get hurt too.  There’s obviously the Myles Garrett option and the Lions could look to do that, but there are some

Right now the thing that seems to be on the minds of all Detroit Lions fans is Myles Garrett and the possibility that the Lions could trade for him. Some fans want it really bad and others don’t.  For us, we think it would be a Super Bowl-winning move for the Lions, but there is

Despite speculation that Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris will move on from the Steel City in 2025, one sportsbook tabbed the Steelers as the most likely landing spot for Harris at +200 odds. The Las Vegas Raiders have the second-best odds at +600, followed by the Dallas Cowboys (+600), Los Angeles Chargers (+900), Chicago
