Lions News: SI predicting huge year for Detroit in 2026
We’re inching closer to the time for 2026 NFL season predictions, and Sports Illustrated’s Connor Orr is getting a jump on the rest of the NFL media landscape. On Tuesday, Orr published his 100 bold predictions for the 2026 NFL season, and several are related to the Detroit Lions. The first is a very simple […]
Detroit Lions hire long-time NFL GM to their front office
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions have hired Chris Grier to an unspecified “personnel executive” position. Grier, who mutually parted ways with the Dolphins in the middle of the 2025 season, had previously served as Miami’s general manager for a full decade (2016-25). During that tenure, the Dolphins posted five winning seasons—including four […]
Carolina Panthers video shows they were happy Lions didn’t draft Monroe Freeling
More teams continue to roll out their behind-the-scenes videos from the 2026 NFL Draft, and the most recent one has a lot to do with the Detroit Lions. The Carolina Panthers’ video—entitled “Panthers Blueprint”—follows their journey to selecting Monroe Freeling with the 19th overall pick. As they waited for the board to fall, the Detroit […]
Discussion: Which Detroit Lions player do you wish came out of retirement?
As if the news couldn’t get any more exciting for Los Angeles Rams fans right now, right off the heels of their trade for Myles Garrett, there are now rumors that three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald is at least considering retirement. Donald reportedly told NFL insider Jordan Schultz, “If I can find […]
Lions News: NFL analyst predicts Jahmyr Gibbs to win 2026 OPOY
Offseason workouts have only just begun, but one NFL analyst is already convinced that Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs will truly have a “superstar” level season. Good Morning Football’s Kyle Brandt said on the show Monday that he expects Gibbs will explode in 2026. “I think Jahmyr Gibbs is going to be Offensive Player […]
Discussion: Where do the Detroit Lions rank in the NFC?
With the Los Angeles Rams’ all-in move, trading for defensive end Myles Garrett, they seem to have assumed the biggest favorite for Super Bowl 61. It would be hard to argue against that. With them returning most of the offensive roster that produced the most points in the NFL last year and adding a bunch […]
Detroit Lions’ biggest need for 2026: Injury luck
“Injuries aren’t an excuse.” It’s a line that’s often parroted by fans, analysts, and even NFL coaches and general managers. We heard Dan Campbell say it in the midst of an avalanche of defensive injuries after their blowout loss to the Bills in 2024. “I’m not buying it [injury excuse],” Campbell said. “I’m not. I […]
Do the Detroit Lions need to make more moves like the Myles Garrett trade?
On Monday, the Los Angeles Rams made a blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett. In the offseason, a move like that draws Super Bowl-winning headlines, with just about every NFL columnist now crowning the Rams as the heavy favorite to be next the champion. It also draws the envy of 31 other fanbases, watching a different […]
Several former Detroit Lions call out Tom Brady’s ‘bullshit’ practice squad take
There aren’t many people in the world that know the NFL and the NFL environment better than Tom Brady. But a couple of former Detroit Lions players are calling out the future Hall of Famer for a recent take on a podcast that they believe is straight—in their words—“bullshit.” A clip went viral this weekend […]
Projecting Detroit Lions 2026 UDFA chances to make the roster
Every offseason, players selected in the NFL Draft receive a ton of attention. Everything from a player’s background to their on-field performance to their contract is broken down in immense detail. At the same time, every team adds several players via the undrafted free agent (UDFA) market—typically more players than they draft—but these players often […]
Discussion: What are realistic expectations for Isaac TeSlaa in 2026?
Isaac TeSlaa’s rookie season was certainly a mixed bag. After being selected with a pricy trade-up in the 2025 NFL Draft, expectations were modestly high for the rookie. On one hand, the offense around him was stacked, meaning opportunities would be limited at first. On the other hand, he was given a long runway for […]
Dan Campbell ain’t messing around
If you watched Dan Campbell’s press conference prior to the Detroit Lions’ third OTA practice on Friday, it wouldn’t be hard to notice a tonal shift. When Campbell steps in front of the lectern, he usually has a contagious energy to him. He’s excited, he’s light, and typically has a lot to say. But on […]
Lions GM Ray Agnew interviewed for—but didn’t land—Vikings GM position
On Friday, Detroit Lions assistant general manager Ray Agnew talked to the media, and revealed that he interviewed for the Minnesota Vikings’ general manager position this offseason. It was reported that the Vikings requested to interview him, but it had not yet been confirmed if he went through with the request. Agnew said he was […]

Alim McNeill says he feels ‘night and day difference’ from last year
In October of 2024, Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill signed a four-year, $97 million contract that made him one of the highest-paid defensive tackles in football. He was at the top of his game, coming off an impressive 2023 season, and was still wreaking havoc early in 2024. But just over a month after […]
Dan Campbell explains why Detroit Lions were only team to cancel rookie minicamp
One of the more surprising changes the Detroit Lions made this offseason was the complete removal of rookie minicamp from their schedule. The Lions were the only team that did not participate in a rookie minicamp, and until Friday, they hadn’t offered a clear reason why. Coach Dan Campbell talked about the decision and admitted […]
Notes: 2 Detroit Lions nominated for Michigan Sports HOF
Two former Detroit Lions have made this year’s list of Michigan Sports Hall of Fame nominees list.

Candidates are separated into five categories — Amateur, Professional, Coach, Media, and Contributor. Former Lions Kevin […]
Detroit Lions OTA Week 1 practice observations, notes
The Detroit Lions kicked off their media-open Organized Team Activity practices on Friday, closing out Week 1 of the program. The day started with coach Dan Campbell warning media and fans alike not to read too much into anything over the next few weeks of “pajama parties.” “The OTAs we’re really doing right now for […]
2026 Detroit Lions OTA Week 1 participation, injury recap
The Detroit Lions completed Week 1 of OTAs on Friday afternoon with a practice just short of two hours long. Prior to practice, coach Dan Campbell warned that “a lot of guys” won’t be practicing out of precaution, but when the players took the field, Detroit was nearly at full strength. Outside of the players […]
Lions injury news: Updates on Kerby Joseph, Brian Branch, Sam LaPorta
Before the Detroit Lions kicked off their third OTA practice of the week, coach Dan Campbell took the podium, and clearly, he was expecting some questions about injuries. Before any reporters had a chance to ask any questions, he gave a vague update on safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph, along with tight end Sam […]
Lions mailbag: Can Detroit’s 2024 draft class redeem itself?
They say it takes three years to properly assess whether an NFL Draft was successful or not. If that’s the case, time is running out on the Detroit Lions’ 2024 selections. Lions general manager Brad Holmes was on an all-time hot streak when it came to his first three draft classes in Detroit. From 2021-23, […]
Detroit Lions OTAs: 7 additional things to watch
Jeremy already broke down 6 things to watch during Detroit Lions OTAs earlier this week after practices officially began Wednesday, May 27. With the media set to receive its first opportunity to observe practice during Friday’s session — the third day of Phase 3 — I wanted to dive a little deeper into a few […]
Rookie RB Jeremiyah Love has no idea who Jared Goff is
We interrupt your very serious Detroit Lions Organized Team Activity coverage with a very funny, very ridiculous moment from the St. Brown Podcast. As they’ve done in a few previous years, Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and his brother Equanimeous were in California for the NFL Rookie Premiere event. There, they interviewed some of the […]

Jack Campbell: ‘Refreshing’ to see hungry Detroit Lions roster on Day 1 of OTAs
It’s only been a few weeks of offseason workouts and a single day of Organized Team Activities (OTAs), but Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell has already been very impressed by the team’s new roster. This offseason, the Lions signed 16 external free agents (and signed another two to futures deals), drafted seven players, and added […]
