Allen Park — The Detroit Lions assigned uniform numbers to their eight draft picks and nine free-agent additions on Tuesday, while several holdover players changed numbers heading into the 2023 season.

Brock Purdy was the final pick of the NFL Draft a year ago by the San Francisco 49ers, earning the title of “Mr. Irrelevant.” Last season, he took over for injured quarterbacks Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo and led the 49ers to the NFC championship game. Former Detroit East English defensive end Desjuan Johnson hopes

As the top of the quarterback market keeps rising, now north of $50 million per year in raw of the top value, everyone else who’s coming up for a

But following the NFL Draft, there’s suddenly some positive momentum on that front. According to general manager Brad Holmes, in an interview with 97.1 The Ticket, the two sides have had some conversations
The process will not come off as too surprising, as the Detroit Lions clearly coveted Jahmyr Gibbs. There were some pre-draft rumors suggesting some teams had Jahmyr Gibbs higher on their draft boards than general consensus top running back Bijan Robinson. The idea was out there that the Detroit Lions were one of them, for
The Detroit Lions took Hendon Hooker in the third round of last week’s NFL draft, but that does not guarantee he will be their quarterback of the future. Lions general manager Brad Holmes said Tuesday on 97.1 WXYT-FM that the organization has discussed a new contract with quarterback Jared Goff. “Yeah, we’ve had (internal) dialogue
