We’ve technically moved on from the “roster bubble” aspect of our 2026 Detroit Lions roster countdown, but the players in this next range—ranked 50 through 41—are far from safe.

Discussion: What is the Detroit Lions’ worst contract of the Brad Holmes era?
Last week, we explored some of the best deals that Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has executed in his nearly six years with the Lions.

Last week, I wrote about Detroit Lions players who could fly under the radar and earn a roster spot.

Sometimes, a returning […]
Discussion: Which Detroit Lions player would you like to grab dinner with?
Our relationship with professional athletes is always at a distance. But what if it wasn’t?
