The Minnesota Vikings have given tight end T.J. Hockenson a record-breaking deal that should lock up the former Detroit Lions first-round pick for the next several years. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it’s a four-year, $68.5 million extension. That breaks the previous record of average per year ($17.125 million) and guaranteed money ($42.5 million) for…
Allen Park — A year after parting ways with the Detroit Lions, the team is bringing back quarterback David Blough as part of the practice squad. Blough, undrafted out of Purdue in 2019, originally signed with the Cleveland Browns, but was traded to the Lions days after the conclusion of the preseason that year. He
With rumors tying the New York Jets to Dalvin Cook, Zonovan Knight was easily considered a looming odd-man out. When Cook was indeed signed, it was a matter of time and the Jets waived Knight on Tuesday as part of their roster cuts. It seems possible they could have gotten something for him in a
According to Jordan Schultz, the Detroit Lions are signing wide receiver Daurice Fountain to their practice squad—the 12th reported member of the team’s supplemental roster. Fountain was a fifth-round pick for the Indianapolis Colts back in 2018, but would end up only making six game appearances in his three years with the team. From there,…
We’re officially just a week away from the Detroit Lions’ 2023 season opener. Seven days from now, the Lions will have the ultimate litmus test to see whether they have a chance to live up to the unprecedented hype. The Kansas City Chiefs are not just the reigning Super Bowl champs, but they’re arguably in…
The Detroit Lions have finally announced their 53-man roster, and as always there were some surprises. A few fun names missed the cut, a couple position groups ended up a bit larger or smaller than projected, and the coaching staff showed that it evaluates its players a little differently than those on the outside.
The Detroit Lions‘ hype train has reached a stunning level. “I love Dan Campbell,” former NBA star Charles Barkley said on “The Bill Simmons Podcast.” “When I’m watching Dan Campbell, I’m like, ‘I want a do-over, I want to play for that dude.’ So, the No. 1 thing I’m looking for is, I want the
Allen Park — The Detroit Lions began piecing together the team’s practice squad Wednesday afternoon, announcing the signing of 10 players, including the return of veteran kicker Michael Badgley. A midseason addition last year, Badgley performed well for the Lions, making 20-of-24 field-goal attempts, with a long of 53 yards, as well as all 33
The Detroit Lions still have only two running backs on their 53-man roster, and although that’s expected to change before next week’s season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, the team added insurance at the position Wednesday to its practice squad. The Lions agreed to a practice squad contract with former New York Jets running
The Detroit Lions continue to build out their 16-man practice squad for the 2023 season. While many of the additions are likely to be internal signings from players they just cut, there have already been two notable additions from outside their training camp squad. The Lions are signing former Jets running back Zonovan Knight (per…
The Detroit Lions hoped to bring Starling Thomas V back on their practice squad after they cut the rookie cornerback Tuesday. The Arizona Cardinals had other ideas. The Cardinals were awarded Thomas off waivers Wednesday, the only Lions cut claimed by another team. The Lions did not make any waiver claims. Thomas had an impressive

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions didn’t claim any players off waivers a day after the league’s 32 teams trimmed their rosters to 53 players, but the team did see one of their cuts claimed, as cornerback Starling Thomas V was scooped up by the Arizona Cardinals. Thomas, an undrafted rookie out of UAB, would
The Detroit Lions are bringing back a familiar face to compete for the kicking job. The Lions re-signed kicker Michael Badgley to their practice squad Wednesday, a month after they cut him just before the start of training camp. Badgley made 20 of 24 field goals and all 33 extra point attempts in 12 games
