DJ Chark is one of the Detroit Lions’ notable free agents, but one of these five teams could definitely sign him away. Coming off an ankle injury early in the 2021 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, wide receiver DJ Chark signed a one-year “prove-it” deal with the Detroit Lions. For a big chunk of the

The Detroit Lions are too obvious on a list of teams primed to make a jump this offseason, with only their placement on the list to possibly take issue with. It’s well-worn story by now, but it’s worth the brief recap. The Detroit Lions won eight of their last 10 games this season, and had

A wedge was driven in the relationship between the Detroit Lions and Calvin Johnson virtually the moment he retired, but the Hall of Famer has suggested a reconciliation could be coming. In 2016 Calvin Johnson became the second slam-dunk Detroit Lions Hall of Famer to retire earlier than expected, with Barry Sanders of course being

Aaron Glenn stands as a candidate for both of the remaining head coaching openings, and he’ll have his second interview with the Colts on Thursday. There are now two head coaching openings in the NFL, as the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals continue their searches. Aaron Glenn has had a second interview with the Arizona

Alex Anzalone had a solid rebound season with the Detroit Lions this year, and he seems to be have his eye on a multi-year deal as he hits free agency again. After a fairly rough first season with the Detroit Lions in 2021, it felt like linebacker Alex Anzalone was only re-signed because it could be

With Duce Staley leaving for a spot on the new coaching staff in Carolina, who could replace him as the Detroit Lions running backs coach? There was once concern about offensive coordinator Ben Johnson leaving for a head coaching job, but he’s staying after taking himself off the interview circuit. Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has

The Detroit Lions have a notable void on their coaching staff now, with assistant head coach/running backs coach Duce Staley leaving for the Carolina Panthers. First it was offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who decided to stay. Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has gotten a couple head coaching interviews, and those jobs are still open, but there’s

It’s easy to overreact to such things, but the Detroit Lions had a extra chat session with Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker at the Senior Bowl on Tuesday. A mere mention of any quarterback the Detroit Lions could procure to (even eventually) replace Jared Goff will draw ire from fans, as if Goff is an infallible

The Chicago Bears may not actually trade Justin Fields, but a recent trade proposal has the Detroit Lions not having to go all-in to get him. With the No. 1 overall pick in April’s draft and the most salary cap space in the league, the Chicago Bears are in a pretty nice spot entering the

Somehow he was named an alternate, and now Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley and former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford now have the same number of career Pro Bowl selections. Tell me, even as the Pro Bowl gets devalued and players bow out in a favor of alternates, are these the numbers of a Pro Bowl quarterback?

The Detroit Lions have added another Pro Bowler for this year, with quarterback Jared Goff now headed to Vegas for this weekend’s events. As players bow out or are rendered inegible because their teams made it to the Super Bowl, the final 2023 Pro Bowl rosters are being shaped. The Detroit Lions added two Pro

After having the last two seasons impacted by a major injury, Romeo Okwara is eyeing a rebound back to his prior form next season. With the young core of pass rushers the Detroit Lions are building–Aidan Hutchinson, James Houston, Josh Paschal–Romeo Okwara has become a forgotten man. Such is life in the NFL sometimes, which

Some names are far more notable than others, but a total of seven former Detroit Lions are on Super Bowl LVII team rosters. The Detroit Lions fell just short of the playoffs this year, which is a heck of an accomplishment coming of four straight pretty bad seasons. A notable former Lion, quarterback Matthew Stafford,
