Josh Reynolds had been in the midst of a quiet free agency period. Despite being the Lions No. 2 wode receiver in 2023, the veteran wideout hadn’t been linked to any teams before last week. After a recent visit with the New York Giants put his name back in the news, Reynolds has found a
The Detroit Lions will have to find more wide receiver help, as they lost one of their biggest contributors in free agency this week. As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, wideout Josh Reynolds is signing a two-year deal worth a maximum of $14 million total. At this point in reporting, the main structure of…
The Detroit Lions are in need of another pass rusher alongside of Aidan Hutchinson, and while they signed Marcus Davenport in free agency, that probably isn’t the only answer. Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox sees a potential trade target for the Lions, naming Jacksonville Jaguars edge rusher Josh Allen as a possibility. The Jaguars slapped a
The best part of hitting on trades, free agents, and draft picks is you get to see a roster build and develop into its full potential. The downfall is everyone needs to be paid at some point to keep the roster together. For the Lions, they are coming up to offer some extensions to keep
This week, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes claimed that the team just had its best free agency period in his four years here, and they hit on all of their Plan A options (aside from the still-unsigned receiver Josh Reynolds).

Detroit Lions defensive back Brian Branch had a stellar rookie season, but the team has even bigger plans for the 22-year-old defender moving forward. Many have wondered if the fact that the Lions have not gone out and signed a safety in free agency was a sign that they were preparing to play Branch—who was…
Brad Holmes became the Lions general manager in 2021 and he wasted no time making monumental moves. It started with the trading of franchise keystone Matthew Stafford and acquiring new starter Jared Goff. It was followed with free-agent moves that have the team now coming off their best season in franchise history. Speaking with the
The NFL approved a fairly radical change to the way kickoffs and kick returns will be handled this week. During the NFL owners’ meetings in Orlando, the league effectively replaced the existing kickoff format and structure with the innovative kickoff and kick returns used by the XFL (now part of the UFL). Effectively, the league
While the Detroit Lions have spent much of March signing and re-signing players in free agency, the one thing they haven’t done yet is signing a player currently under contact to an extension. We know the Lions have begun talks in regards to keeping both quarterback Jared Goff and receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown around for…
