One of the biggest questions facing the Detroit Lions this free agency was whether they would be able to retain 2021 second-round pick Levi Onwuzurike. With the 27-year-old defender coming off his best season and the defensive tackle market skyrocketing, many projections had Onwuzurike commanding $10-15 million a year—which would almost certainly be outside of…
When the Detroit Lions agreed to terms with cornerback D.J. Reed, they didn’t just add another piece to the secondary—they landed a proven playmaker with the kind of competitive attitude this team values. But what exactly are the Lions getting in Reed? How was he viewed by Jets’ fans, and why did he ultimately leave…
With the NFL officially turning the page to 2025, free agency is open, and the Detroit Lions are strategically making moves to improve their roster. Adding depth on the defensive line was a logical place to invest during free agency, and the Lions did just that by re-signing Levi Onwuzurike and signing Roy Lopez away…
The Detroit Lions have reportedly tendered two exclusive rights free agents (ERFAs), but are letting the other two walk. Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Lions have tendered interior offensive linemen Michael Niese and linebacker Trevor Nowaske, but they are letting offensive lineman Connor Galvin and defensive end Mitchell Agude hit free…

The Detroit Lions continue to take care of their own in free agency.

Reynolds was a restricted free agent, but the Lions did not tender him. Instead, he became an unrestricted free…
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Detroit Lions are re-signing defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike to a 1-year $5.5 million contract extension. Onwuzurike was drafted by the Lions in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft (the first of the Brad Holmes/Dan Campbell regime) with high expectations. Unfortunately, Onwuzurike was plagued by a back…

Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph is currently on an extremely team-friendly rookie contract, but the NFLPA has a rule in place that helped him get paid a little bit closer to what he’s worth last season.
