The roster looks very similar, albeit the pockets of many players are fuller after some massive contracts were handed out in the offseason. This team is out to prove they have what it takes to
“You guys sure are fun to watch.” “Man, I love your coach. He’s awesome!” “I think the Lions can win it all next year. That’s a really great team.” [affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] That’s a sampling of what I’ve heard this week in Orlando when wearing my trusty old Detroit Lions hat. It’s a very different experience being
The Detroit Lions waived undrafted rookie kicker James Turner on Tuesday, but they may see him again soon. On Thursday, the Green Bay Packers were awarded Turner after putting in a claim for him on waivers, according to the official transaction wire. Currently, waiver wire priority is determined from last year’s results, so Green Bay…
The Green Bay Packers have claimed K James Turner off waivers, per the NFL transaction wire. He was just cut by the Lions after they signed UFL breakout K Jake Bates to a contract. Turner takes the roster spot of K Jack Podlesny who was waived by the Packers. He’s the third kicker on the
On Thursday, The 33rd Team’s Dan Pizzuta shared his list of the top 10 running backs in NFL history, and in the No. 4 spot was former Detroit Lions All-Pro running back Barry Sanders. Pizzuta has Sanders ranked higher than some of the most accomplished running backs in league history, including Marshall Faulk (No. 5),
It makes sense that they would make this move. The Packers were in the Jake Bates hunt as well and even had contact with him. Ultimately Bates chose to stay in Detroit and the Packers get the guy they released to make room for him. While it’s still just the spring, Turner had a very
In 2021, the Detroit Lions sprinted to the podium to select Penei Sewell with the 7th overall pick. Since then, he’s become a foundational piece to the Lions franchise.

Since taking over as general manager for the Detroit Lions, Brad Holmes’ interest in wide receivers has been both rumored and real. He traded up 20 spots to select Jameson Williams in the 2022 NFL Draft, but that was roughly a year after he had been rumored to be interested in moving up for Ja’Marr…
We are smack dab in the middle of hot take season people. Buckle up and get ready for a crazy month of all kinds of takes. We’ve already seen one writer suggest that the Detroit Lions abandon Jared Goff for Justin Fields in 2025 and we’ve seen an analyst suggest the Lions sign Michael Thomas.
This week, the Detroit Lions made a change to their kicker competition, and it’s one fans were hoping for over the past two months.
