Allen Park — The first time Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson crossed paths was 2016, at Nike’s “The Opening” football camp for the nation’s elite skill-position players. Glenn, who was early in his coaching career, was there to work with the cornerbacks at the camp, while Garner-Johnson was bound
The Detroit Lions opened a very little bit of cap space by restructing punter Jack Fox’s contract. Pending the plugging in of some of their signings, the Detroit Lions are sitting pretty good in terms of cap space after the first wave of free agency. There are certainly bigger moves to clear cap space, already
The Detroit Lions swooped in and signed the newest big-name addition to their secondary seemingly out of nowhere, but the wooing of C.J. Gardner-Johnson started long ago. Gardner-Johnson said at his introductory news conference Monday that his relationship with Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn dates to when he was a top high school recruit in
The Detroit Lions are through the first week of NFL free agency 2023, having made five new additions to the team: Defensive backs C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Cam Sutton and Emmanuel Moseley, running back David Montgomery, and guard Graham Glasgow. They’ve also lost four free agents as of Monday morning, including three starters and a top special
Graham Glasgow didn’t want to leave the Detroit Lions when he did, so he’s clearly glad to be back now under a different regime. On the scale of how former Lions head coach Matt Patricia alienated players, at least based on what we know, odd usage of Graham Glasgow in a guard rotation his final
Allen Park — Graham Glasgow has no problem admitting he was bitter about the way his first run with the Detroit Lions came to an end. But, those feelings didn’t last long, and when the Denver Broncos released him this offseason, Glasgow asked his agent to gauge whether Detroit was keen on a reunion. As
The Detroit Lions could have a competition brewing at long snapper. The Lions signed Pro Bowl long snapper Jake McQuaide to a one-year contract Monday. McQuaide, 35, spent 10 seasons with the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams during Lions general manager Brad Holmes’ tenure with the team, before joining the Dallas Cowboys in 2021. He made
With moves over the last few days, the Detroit Lions are setting up competition for a couple key special teams spots. As an acknowledgement of his stabilizing their kicker situation, the Detroit Lions re-signed Michael Badgley last week. It was sure to not be a huge deal or more than one year, so the idea
Allen Park — Bill Belichick, one of, if not the greatest coach in NFL history, has always put a premium on special teams. So, when a primarily special-teams performer gets a call from the Patriots in free agency, it’s noteworthy. Belichick’s Patriots poached one of the Detroit Lions’ top special-teamers last week, signing free-agent linebacker
The Detroit Lions are taking from their past free agent failures to pay for this year’s class. Romeo Okwara agreed to a massive pay cut to stay with the Lions in 2023, reducing his base salary from $11 million to $2 million next season in a move that creates nearly $9 million in cap space.
Both Romeo Okwara and Charles Harris were potential cap casualties this offseason, but the two Detroit Lions edge rushers have agreed to significant pay cuts to stay with the team in 2023. News of Harris’ negotiated deal came out last week. Entering the final year of the contract, he was scheduled to have an $8
The Detroit Lions are loading up their defense to make a run at an NFC North title in 2023. The Lions signed one of the best free agents left on the market Sunday, agreeing to a one-year, $8 million deal with Philadelphia Eagles safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, his agent told NFL Network. Gardner-Johnson tied for the
The Detroit Lions continue to be in an aggressive mode in free agency, reportedly agreeing to a steal of a deal with safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson Sunday night. This free agency period has been a change in mode for Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes compared to his first two. After addressing the biggest need on
