The 2023 NFL Combine begins on Monday, February 27, with prospects arriving in their positional groups. Over the first few days, players will get medical checks, meet with NFL teams, and take the podium to answer questions from the media. Then on Thursday, March 2, the league will start four days of televised coverage of…
We’ve officially reached the part of the offseason where teams are making the releases that make you go ”what?” Earlier this week, the Titans released their starting left tackle Taylor Lewan and their leading receiver Robert Woods. Those are big in their way, but a much bigger one happened on Thursday when it was announced…
One of my favorite things to do when visiting other stadiums around the NFL is to see which jerseys are being worn. Is it the superstar quarterback? Maybe the longtime defensive captain? A team legend that hasn’t been on the field in over 20 years? I know that last one certainly applies to the Detroit…
Defense, defense, defense. The Detroit Lions need so much help for their last-ranked defense they could — many would argue, should — use both of their first-round draft picks on help for that side of the ball. Another pass rusher, preferably of the interior variety, would go a long way towards completing the defensive line.
After interviewing for four head coaching vacancies over the past two seasons, the Detroit Lions are giving Aaron Glenn more security as defensive coordinator. ESPN reported Thursday that the Lions are in the process of signing Glenn to a multi-year contract extension. The Lions finished with the NFL’s 32nd-ranked defense last season, but Glenn was
According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Detroit Lions are in the process of giving defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn a contract extension. Per Fowler, the deal is not done yet, but it’s expected to get done soon and should extend his deal for “multiple years.” Because coaching contracts are typically not made public,…
According to a report from Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Lions and Michael Brockers have agreed to part ways in 2023. Brockers’ official release is expected on Friday.

Two years after acquiring Michael Brockers in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams, the Detroit Lions are releasing the veteran defensive lineman in a cost-cutting move that creates $10 million in cap space. The Lions and Brockers amicably agreed to part ways Thursday, 20 days before the start of the 2023 league year. Voted
Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill. (Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports) NFL rumors were buzzing after Tyreek Hill praised Lions QB Jared Goff, the record on Daniel Jones got set straight and Bruce Arians came with the comedy. It may be the NFL offseason but any good sports fan knows the National Football League never truly sleeps.
The Detroit Lions added some depth at cornerback on Thursday, three weeks ahead of free agency, signing Mac McCain. Most recently with the Philadelphia Eagles, McCain has split his brief, two-year professional career between there and Denver, where he initially signed as an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina A&T in 2021. McCain spent
Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is one of two Detroit Lions to make PFF’s top 101 players of 2022 list. The list came out earlier in the week — the analytics website releasing the first portion of the top 101 players who performed the best in their respective positions in 2022. Right tackle Penei Sewell…
After being cut by the Titans, Robert Woods has fallen right into the Lions’ lap as a potentially ideal replacement for DJ Chark. The Tennessee Titans took some big steps to get under the salary cap on Wednesday, cutting four starters, including wide receiver Robert Woods. He didn’t have a great lone season in Tennessee,
The Detroit Lions signed former Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Mac McClain III to their 90-man roster Thursday. McClain spent most of last season on the Eagles practice squad and was with the team for its Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He appeared in one game in 2021, making three tackles in the Eagles’
It was pretty clear Duce Staley wouldn’t have left the Detroit Lions under normal circumstances without a promotion, but his departure to the Carolina Panthers was a unique circumstance. Shy of getting a head coaching or offensive coordinator job elsewhere, Duce Staley may not have left his post as Detroit Lions assistant head coach and
