NFL coaches, execs believe Jahmyr Gibbs is a top-2 RB
One of my favorite offseason pieces of content is ESPN’s positional ranking, as determined by their polling of NFL executives and coaches. Not because it means anything, but because it gives a general sense of how respected these players are within the league. This year’s list kicks off with running back, and Detroit Lions’ Jahmyr […]
2026 Lions season preview: Isaac TeSlaa’s time to shine is now
With the Detroit Lions moving on from wide receiver Kalif Raymond, there’s a shift in the wide receiver room. The Lions drafted wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft with the intention of moving up the depth chart and becoming the third option in an offense that has weapons […]
Discussion: Which player is a sleeper to make the Detroit Lions roster?
Projecting which players will and will not make the Detroit Lions’ roster is a fool’s errand in July, but that doesn’t mean we cannot think about it—on an unrelated note, stay tuned for the annual Pride of Detroit Bubble Watch in a few weeks! Until training camp and preseason roll around, all we have to […]
2026 Lions season preview: Will Brian Branch return to form?
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but injuries were a major factor in the Detroit Lions’ play in 2025. After suffering an injury-riddled year in 2024 and still winning the NFC North and the NFC’s top seed, injuries were too much to overcome in 2025. One of the biggest injuries to hit the team […]
Discussion: Which Detroit Lions player has the most to prove in 2026?
As a team, the Detroit Lions have a ton to prove this season. After taking a step back in 2025 for the first time in the Dan Campbell era, doubt is starting to creep in both within Detroit and from the national audience. It hasn’t been a splashy offseason, and with some drama surrounding the […]
2026 season preview: D.J. Reed is suddenly one of most important Lions
In the wake of Terrion Arnold’s recent departure from the team, the Detroit Lions are in need of at least two cornerbacks to step up in 2026. D.J. Reed was signed to be one of those players last year. After not being able to come to an agreement with Carlton Davis, the Lions pivoted to […]
Lions News: Bears site’s all-time RB ranking makes case for Barry Sanders as GOAT
In Detroit, it’s blasphemous to call anyone other than Barry Sanders the greatest running back of all time. But in Chicago, it’s the exact same, but with Walter Payton, instead. In Cleveland, they’ve got their argument for Jim Brown, and I’m sure Dallasites believe with all their silly hearts that Emmitt Smith is the guy. […]
Mailbag: Do the Detroit Lions HAVE to add a CB to replace Terrion Arnold?
Prior to Terrion Arnold’s arrest and subsequent release, the Detroit Lions said that he would have to compete and win a starting job. “We’ve got a lot of good guys in that room and he knows this, he’s got to go earn it,” coach Dan Campbell said on the final day of mandatory minicamp. Whether […]
Lions News: ESPN grades Detroit’s offseason as top-10 in NFL
Did the Detroit Lions get better this offseason? It’s a question that we won’t know the answer to until after the 2026 season is over. There were certainly a lot of notable losses this offseason, including Alex Anzalone, Amik Robertson, Al-Quadin Muhammad, and David Montgomery, among others. But the Lions also did add Cade Mays, […]
2026 Lions preview: Can Levi Onwuzurike still make a difference?
Levi Onwuzurike was the Detroit Lions’ second-round pick way back in 2021. The second ever draft pick of general manager Brad Holmes, there were high hopes that Onwuzurike could help fortify the defensive line for years to come. And while Onwuzurike remains on the roster a full five years later, injuries have taken a toll […]
Why the Detroit Lions cut Terrion Arnold now
On Monday, hours after a Florida judge set Terrion Arnold’s bond at $1 million, the Detroit Lions cut ties with the 23-year-old cornerback. For some, it was a pretty big shock. The Lions had not released Arnold when he was originally arrested last week. It appeared they were waiting for his bond hearing, and it […]
What was the Detroit Lions’ most underrated free agent signing?
The Detroit Lions’ roster is at 90 players just weeks away from the start of 2026 training camp. It’s been a long offseason, but it’s almost coming to a merciful end. With a little time on our hands right now, let’s re-examine the Lions’ offseason moves and start with free agency. Detroit’s list of free […]
Lions News: Giovanni Manu channelling frustrating offseason into motivation
There may not be a single currently Detroit Lions player more negatively impacted by the team’s offseason moves than Giovanni Manu. The developmental offensive tackle is entering his third year with the team after being drafted in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and this was the season many hoped to see a […]
Jack Campbell cracks NFL Top 100 list for 1st time
The NFL is slowly unveiling its Top-100 Players of 2026 list, as voted by players. At the moment, they’re revealing two players at a time, and on Tuesday, they got to their first Detroit Lions player. Jack Campbell ranked 88th on the list this year. It’s the first time the Lions linebacker has made the […]
Terrion Arnold was a failed draft pick, not a bad draft pick
Terrion Arnold’s time in Detroit has reached an end following his release, marking a sad and disappointing end to a once-promising career with the Detroit Lions. With the transaction, Detroit is left in limbo at cornerback. D.J. Reed is guaranteed to start on the outside, but who will start across from him in Arnold’s stead […]
Discussion: Can Rock Ya-Sin be the Detroit Lions starting cornerback?
On Monday, the Detroit Lions opted not to drag out the Terrion Arnold legal drama and just end things with their 2024 first-round pick. Arnold was unceremoniously released just hours after a Florida judge awarded him a bond set at $1 million. It’s a stunning end to his Lions career, but instead of watching Arnold’s […]
Salary cap ramifications of Terrion Arnold’s release
On Monday, the Detroit Lions released Terrion Arnold following his arrest last week and his pretrial hearing earlier that day. While a Florida judge set Arnold’s bail at $1 million, it appears the evidence presented by the state during the hearing was enough for the Lions to move on. Arnold leaves after just two years […]
Detroit Lions release CB Terrion Arnold after arrest
Just days after Terrion Arnold was arrested for his connection to a kidnapping incident in February, the Detroit Lions announced they have released the cornerback. Arnold was drafted by the Lions in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, with the Lions trading up to draft the cornerback out of Alabama. His NFL career […]
Terrion Arnold granted bond, as judge denies state’s pre-trial motion
On Monday afternoon, the state was denied its motion to hold Terrion Arnold without bond on a case with eight felony charges. Bond has been set at $1 million — $150,ooo per kidnapping count (one of the four is conspiracy) and $100,000 per armed robbery count (one of the four is conspiracy). The terms of […]
2026 season preview: Can Aidan Hutchinson take it up a notch?
The Detroit Lions have a superstar in EDGE Aidan Hutchinson, and the team knows that. They took him with the second overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft with the expectations that he would be a wrecking force on the defensive line. Hutchinson has proven them right, with strong rookie and sophomore seasons. His 2024 […]
Discussion: Which Lions players could earn their first All-Pro nod in 2026?
The Detroit Lions have quietly turned into an All-Pro factory. Since taking over in 2021, general manager Brad Holmes has drafted and signed multiple players that would earn All-Pro votes. It started slow with just Kalif Raymond getting a nod in 2022, but that quickly exploded with five players in 2023, six in 2024, and […]
Discussion: What moment in Detroit Lions history would you change?
A winning or losing season is decided by dozens, if not hundreds, of inflection points. If one play call, penalty, fumble, drop, missed tackle goes the other way, it potentially changes the entire outcome of a game. Similarly, a franchise’s direction also has plenty of moments, decisions, and signings that drastically alter the course of […]
2026 season preview: What’s the next step for Jameson Williams?
Since he was taken 12th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has been a bit of a polarizing figure. Coming out of the University of Alabama, Williams was widely regarded as the best receiver prospect in the class prior to tearing his ACL in the final game of his […]
Detroit Lions adding Wolverines executive to scouting department
According to a report from Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, the Detroit Lions are “expected to hire” Wolverines assistant director of personnel John Collins as a scouting assistant. Collins is a quick up-and-comer throughout the personnel ranks. Collins was a recruiting assistant for Temple for five months before a quick stint as a player personnel […]
Will you attend Lions training camp?
Earlier this week, the Detroit Lions announced that there would be 10 practices during this year’s training camp that would be open to fans. Back in the day, prior to the Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes era, this announcement was typically met with much less fanfare. After all, there wasn’t as much hype around the […]
