The Detroit Lions announced they cut former seventh-round pick WR Antoine Green.

With 11 reported UDFA signings reportedly agreed to, the Detroit Lions roster was on the verge of hitting 91—one over the maximum limit this time of year. The team rectified that on Tuesday afternoon, announcing that Lions wide receiver Antoine Green has been waived.

Green was selected in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, Green’s career in Detroit was largely defined by injury. Though he played nine games in his rookie season, it was predominantly on special teams. He only caught one pass for 2...

The Detroit Lions made a massive trade on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, but it almost never happened.

Without a doubt, the most polarizing move the Detroit Lions made in the 2025 NFL Draft was their aggressive trade up from 102 to the 70th pick in order to draft Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa. That pick received the lowest grade from our fans, and it’s running away with the vote for “least favorite pick,” both due to the perceived reach and the draft capital it cost to go up and get him.

But it almost didn’t happen.

Arkansas beat writer Jackson Fuller shares his thoughts on Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa

The Detroit Lions traded a 2025 third-round pick and two 2026 third-round picks in order to select Isaac TeSlaa, a wide receiver out of Arkansas.

TeSlaa is a Michigan native who played collegiately at Hillsdale College before transferring to the SEC. The Lions met with him throughout the pre-draft process and clearly loved him enough to add him to the squad. He has been touted for his elite athleticism and humble attitude at Arkansas and fits the bill of a ‘gritty’ player that Detroit looks for.

The Detroit Lions may have found three significant sleepers in the 2025 NFL Draft.

A few weeks before the 2025 NFL Draft, ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg spoke to several college coaches to figure out which draft prospects were being slept on. After his conversations, Rittenberg came up with a list of 28 total “sleepers”—draft prospects who are better than the attention they’re getting.

It turns out the Detroit Lions would end up drafting three of those 28 players—all on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Here are those players, and some outstanding quotes from their college coaching staff.

Here’s an updated look at the Detroit Lions’ depth chart following the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Draft.

With the 2025 NFL Draft behind us, it’s an ideal time to take a look at the Detroit Lions roster and project where the team’s new players fit into the depth chart. During the draft, the Lions acquired seven new draft picks to their roster, and another reported 11 undrafted free agents—though that will put the team at 91 players, meaning one is reported incorrectly or a roster transaction is imminent.

This version of the Lions depth chart lists/ranks all the players...

Bad news for some players can be good news for others. Here are 7 players that benefitted from the Detroit Lions’ 2025 NFL Draft.

Things are not all doom and gloom for the Detroit Lions depth chart.

While some players are at risk of losing a starting role or a roster spot, this post-draft period also highlights how beneficial the NFL Draft was for others. The Lions only had so many draft picks to play with, meaning not every position was addressed. The draft is impactful not only due to the moves that were made, but also the moves that...

Which selection in the 2025 Detroit Lions draft class was your least favorite?

No general manager is perfect, but Detroit Lions’ Brad Holmes has been close.

It’s impossible to deny the amazing job Holmes has done the minute he took over the personnel department in 2021. He had a plan and he stuck to it. In a manner of three years, the Lions became one of the most competitive teams in football, and they stand to enter their third straight season with serious championship hopes.

Most of his best work is done on draft weekend. He’s managed to hit home...

Examining the grade Lions fans assign to their 2025 first-round draft pick.

Immediately following the Detroit Lions' first-round selection of Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams, we published an SB Nation Reacts Survey asking fans for their grade of the pick.

Most fans expected the Lions to draft a defensive lineman with their first selection—falling in line with the betting odds from the good folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook, who also favored the Lions drafting a DL. But it was a bit of a surprise that Detroit ended up with Williams when most fans expected the Lions to grab an...

Looking at 2026 NFL mock drafts early to see who you might need to keep your eye in this fall.

Now that the 2025 NFL Draft is over, the focus can transition to the 2026 NFL Draft, right? Oh yeah, a whole season must be played before we can get there. While that will be entertaining, it is fun to take a peek at what next year’s draft could look like.

Sure, these things aren’t as accurate as the mock drafts in March, but it’s a chance for people to prepare for the future. When the college football season kicks...

Now THAT is one good day.

New Detroit Lions defensive end Ahmed Hassanein checked not one but two major milestones off his list on Saturday.

First, the Lions selected the edge rusher in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, leading to one of the most intense draft-day calls I’ve ever seen.

OK, weeping. Then to add to the happiness, Hassanein addressed his family and friends with more exciting news.

“I appreciate every one of you guys. I just want to take this opportunity and thank the love of my life. You changed my life. You seriously changed my...
