In the immediate wake of the NFL’s annual Scouting Combine—perhaps fueled by late-night conversations at St. Elmo Steak House and Prime 47—trades and roster movement often materialize just before the start of free agency. Monday delivered an emotional one for Detroit Lions fans, as the franchise parted ways with David Montgomery, a move that had […]
While I believe the Detroit Lions’ trade of David Montgomery was the team’s best-case scenario of a tough decision, it doesn’t make the loss of the veteran running back much more tolerable. Yes, the Lions got tremendous value, but it just sucks that things fell apart so quickly with Montgomery. The team still valued him […]
In a roster move that will create over $5.5 million in cap space, the Detroit Lions announced on Monday that they have released offensive lineman Graham Glasgow.

Sonic and Knuckles will not play together in 2026. The Detroit Lions are reportedly trading running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans, as first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

The saga of Detroit Lions running back continues. The latest development comes from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, who in his latest batch of of NFL Combine buzz said that Montgomery is prepared to the leave Detroit. “And at running back, the Lions’ David Montgomery wants out, has a reasonable contract (owed $6 million in 2026) and is 28,” […]
Assessing a quarterback’s performance at the NFL Combine is always a challenging task, and with the Detroit Lions set with Jared Goff as their starter, exploring which developmental quarterbacks have potential increases the level of difficulty.

While much of the focus around the NFL world is currently on the Combine down in Indianapolis, don’t forget about free agency.
