By the way, you can see that reverence even more when you see things like Holmes putting leis on Penei Sewell before his extension press conference this past week. Who does that? Seriously, who does that? Who cares about a player enough to tear up when he talk’s about him, make him the highest paid
[affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] CB Terrion Arnold Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Arnold enters the depth chart at the top of the cornerback position, though Carlton Davis will have something to say about that. The first-rounder doesn’t create much drama on the depth chart on his own, but when paired with the next pick… CB Ennis Rakestraw Lions pick
NFL players don’t exactly punch a time clock or hustle between one job and another to make ends meet, but at the end of the day, they are still employees. And with that comes some of the same trappings that the hotel front desk clerk, HVAC technician or fireman experience as employees. Namely, complaining about
I understand questioning anything Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes does is a dangerous proposition. Not only does he have a pretty clean record through three years, but he’s a guy who also keeps receipts. He’s not afraid to call a reporter out in a press conference or get the entire Lions front office to…
On Monday we went through the Detroit Lions roster piece by piece to try to make a way too early prediction on what the team’s 53-man roster might look like after roster cuts in August. Today we’ll do a companion piece to that where we talk about who might be on the Lions 17 man
The Detroit Lions didn’t do something I though they would or should do this offseason. They skipped out on it in both free agency and the draft. I’m talking about finding that big bodied X receiver. Free agency is tapped out and all the good ones got drafted, but no worries. I found one. Is

Back when the 2021 NFL Draft was rolling around, there was a lot of chatter about which direction the Detroit Lions should go in. General manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell were newly hired and facing an extremely daunting task in front of them — rebuild the Lions’ roster and turn it into a…
Lions GM Brad Holmes has been wildly successful in using the annual NFL draft to reconstruct his team from the depths of despair into a prime Super Bowl contender. It’s no secret that Holmes has a great eye for talent and team-building. What is something of a secret is how exactly Holmes organizes what he
The Detroit Lions are getting closer to building their final roster, though the coming months will make the picture both more and less clear. The NFL Draft is in the books and the Lions have added plenty of talent. Free agency is still ongoing with the potential for some additional acquisitions—the roster currently sits at…
Featuring the likes of Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, and Brian Branch, Detroit’s 2023 draft class helped propel the Lions to their first NFC Championship Game in decades. But there’s one player from that group who has yet to see the field, and he could be the difference between this class being really good and historically…
On May 1, 2021 we sat down with a just-drafted Penei Sewell to talk about his family, motivation and more. Three years later, we sat down with Penei again right after he signed a contract extension making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL and had him reflect on and update his answers to
A Saints-to-Lions pipeline formed recently, with Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn in place after lengthy New Orleans tenures. Will Harris will make the reverse trip, committing to the Saints on Wednesday. Busy reshaping their DB corps last year, the Lions reduced Harris’ playing time despite re-signing him. After the former third-round pick had played 1,012 defensive snaps for
