The Detroit Lions officially added free agent linebacker Ben Niemann to the roster. The 28-year-old joins the Detroit LB corps in time for the final OTAs before the extended break into training camp in late July.

Quarterback Jared Goff has signed contract extensions with both the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions as a pro.

On Tuesday, the NFL announced they would broadcast 21 live preseason games on NFL Network, including two of the Detroit Lions’ three contests. Traditionally, a local Detroit television affiliate would broadcast all three of the Lions preseason games. Then, NFL Network would broadcast a replay of the game later on in the week, so those…
Detroit Lions right tackle Penei Sewell is a baller. That’s why in 2023 he was a first team All-NFL and made the Pro Bowl. It’s because he’s the best tackle in football right now. That’s why he’s now the highest paid tackle in football too. According to Pro Football Focus, Sewell is actually the third
The guy we’re really looking at is Russell Gage. Keep in mind that this is an invitation to camp that we’re talking about. This isn’t a guaranteed starting spot or even a spot on the roster. It’s an opportunity to see what’s there. Gage has had an interesting last few years. In 2020 and 2021
As the Detroit Lions conclude OTAs this week, with the young players still in town, now is a good time to remind people that this is the time of year in which optimism overflows. Now, for a team like Detroit who came as close as they ever have to making the Super Bowl last year,…
This week, a clip from the UFL went viral, and for good reason. Iconic coach Wade Phillips—-who is currently the head coach of the UFL’s San Antonio Brahmas—was talking to receiver Hakeem Butler of the St. Louis BattleHawks and let him know that he’s going to talk to NFL teams about giving him a shot.
It seems like every year we see a team win their division after finishing last place the previous year. Last year, it was the Houston Texans, who finished with a 12-5 record and won the division following a three win season. In 2022, it was the Jacksonville Jaguars that made the leap. The year prior,…
The Detroit Lions had a breakout campaign in 2023, establishing themselves as a contender. In 2023, the Lions snapped their 32-year drought without a playoff win by making it all the way to the NFC Championship Game.

The personnel front has been pretty quiet lately in Detroit. Through the recent session of OTAs and last week’s mandatory minicamp, the Lions kept the same group of players on the roster.

No Detroit Lions quarterback has ever won the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award, though Jared Goff might have something to say about that if the team’s burgeoning offensive success continues.

The Detroit Lions are bolstering their linebacking and special teams depth ahead of next month’s training camp, signing veteran Ben Niemann. The move was confirmed to The Detroit News by a team source. The six-year veteran spent the first four years of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs after going undrafted out of Iowa.
Brandon Aiyuk probably wants to avoid playing on his fifth-year option. Although it would earn him $14.124 million in 2024, it is far below his market value.
