Latest news and updates about the Lions
A week after the Detroit Lions announced that 2023 first-round pick Jack Campbell signed a four-year extension, the full details of the deal appear to be out. Tuesday night, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press provided partial details of the $81 million contract, and OverTheCap filled out the rest of the details by Wednesday […]
The Detroit Lions may not have had a bunch of blockbuster moves this offseason, but they also weren’t very complacent, either. They signed 15 external free agents this offseason—well above their average under general manager Brad Holmes—in addition to adding seven draft picks and nine undrafted free agents. Their scope was wide in improving upon […]

Forgoing a team announcement or a sports journalist, the Detroit Lions chose to break the news they have extended linebacker Jack Campbell with the help of a Lions superfan. Diehard Lions supporter Sweta Patel posted on X on at 1:45 p.m. Thursday that Campbell will stay a Lion, citing “inside sources.” Because she’s not a […]
Well, everyone can take a breath now. A few weeks ago when the news broke that the Detroit Lions would not be picking up the fifth-year option for Jack Campbell, one of two first-round selections from the 2023 draft class along with running back Jahmyr Gibbs, there were certainly some uneasy feelings around the fan […]
The Detroit Lions have a couple of roster spots open and an estimated $23.6 million in cap space left. As evidenced by their signing of wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr., the Lions are certainly still interested in adding talent and competition to their roster. But there are obviously going to be limits on who they […]

On Thursday afternoon, the Detroit Lions announced that All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell signed a four-year extension—one that will keep him under contract through the 2030 NFL season. Contract terms weren’t initially disclosed, but on Thursday night, they were revealed. As first reported by Ian Rapoport, Campbell’s deal is worth $81 million total, including $51.5 million […]
We are back to work over at the Pride of Detroit YouTube channel with a breakdown of Detroit Lions first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, offensive tackle Blake Miller. Over the last few weeks, myself and my good friend and host of the Pride of Detroit PODcast, Meko Scott, watched all of the Miller […]
We’ve officially reached the “player rankings” portion of the offseason, and it was kicked off this week by a particularly offensive quarterback ranking by friends-of-the-show, ESPN’s Mina Kimes and Ben Solak. This week, they did a NFL quarterback draft. To be clear, this isn’t a standard ranking of the NFL passers, it’s a draft where […]

On Wednesday, we talked about the Detroit Lions’ floor for the 2026 season. Based on the team’s talent and their easy-looking schedule, it’s fair to say that even if most things don’t break the Lions’ way this season, expectations remain very high. Currently, 61% of Lions fans polled in Wednesday’s Question of the Day have […]
The Detroit Lions were far more aggressive during the 2026 NFL Draft than their final results suggested, and new video released by the Baltimore Ravens confirmed what had previously only been reported in fragments. The Lions proposed a trade to move from the 17th overall pick to Baltimore's 14th, offering pick No. 118 and a 2027 third-round pick to move up three spots in the first round. Baltimore had interest. Then the Miami Dolphins selected Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor...
The Detroit Lions continue to add to their roster ahead of Organized Team Activities. On Wednesday, they announced they’ve signed veteran receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. The 6-foot-2, 197-pound receiver has been in the NFL for eight seasons. He began his professional football journey as a sixth-round pick for the Dallas Cowboys in 2018. There, he […]
Last week, we provided our own game-by-game predictions for the Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule. But let’s turn that idea on its head. Instead, let’s see how the Lions’ 2026 opponents see how Detroit’s season will play out. For this exercise, I tallied the game-by-game prediction from SB Nation sites of Detroit’s 2026 opponents*. In those […]

With the Detroit Lions’ schedule out and the betting lines released, expectations have been set for the 2026 season. Detroit arguably has the easiest schedule in the NFL—even if there are some things we really don’t like about it. They’re favorites in all but three games this season. And while there are certainly a lot […]
After a one-year hiatus, the New England Patriots are returning to the international stage later this year. The Super Bowl runner-ups will square off against the Detroit Lions in a Nov. 15 contest at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Due to the game taking place abroad, the ticketing procedure also differs from your standard regular […]
The Miami Dolphins may not have been the only team interested in Kadyn Proctor as it’s come out that the Detroit Lions may have coveted the big offensive lineman. The Lions (17) were working on trading up with the Baltimore Ravens (14) but that plan fell through when the Dolphins selected Proctor. Though it wasn’t […]
The Commanders preseason schedule is officially set. The date and time of Washington’s Week 2 exhibition against the Detroit Lions were the only details outstanding, and the team announced them on Tuesday afternoon. They’ll play the Lions on Aug. 22 at noon ET in a game that will be broadcast locally on WUSA 9, the CBS […]
I would normally sit here and tell you that a quarterback winning his first MVP and putting together his best individual season at age 37 is not a predictive indicator of what is to come. Smart bets would usually lean towards a return to normalcy and career baselines. I’m known for finding the contrarian angle […]
In addition to announcing their regular season schedule, the Detroit Lions also announced on Thursday their three-game preseason schedule, although without the dates. This year’s schedule, as usual, features a couple of nearby opponents to minimize travel. It’s also worth noting that Lions coach Dan Campbell already expressed that he doesn’t want to do any […]
As teams release their 2026 NFL Draft war room videos, it can sometimes tell us more about the Detroit Lions’ process. We’ve already seen the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens reveal tarde offers they received from the Lions that ended up not going through. But there’s another moment from the Ravens video that involves […]
