Jared Goff is an MVP candidate, but unlike year’s past, oddsmakers aren’t to high on him.

Still months out from the season opener, Jared Goff has yet again emerged as a dark horse candidate for the NFL’s Most Valuable Player.

“If the Lions win like they did last season, Goff will almost certainly again deserve serious consideration,” writes NFLcom’s Judy Battista, who included JG on her list of potential MVP candidates in an article this week.

It’s been a hot topic this week, with Detroit Lions legend Calvin Johnson joining “Up and Adams” to discuss the future of the franchise....

Detroit Lions general manager reacted to the retirement of Frank Ragnow and talked about what he’s looking for in an ideal center.

We’ve heard from some players and coach Dan Campbell on what the loss of Frank Ragnow could mean for the Detroit Lions going forward. But the general manager who handed Ragnow a four-year extension in 2021 has been behind the scenes since the news broke over a week ago.

However, Brad Holmes joined former NFL defensive lineman Chris Long on his podcast “Green Light,” and the news inevitably came up. As expected, Holmes has a tremendous amount of...

Lions’ safety Kerby Joseph recently popped up at a Detroit Firehouse to kick it with some of the city’s finest. What should he do next?

When you are an All-Pro like Detroit Lions’ safety Kerby Joseph, you can pop into anywhere in the city and be well-received. Especially in a city like Detroit, where athletes are revered and taken care of within the community.

So when Joseph and his brother randomly showed up at a Detroit Firehouse, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they were welcomed with open arms. They were given a tour of the house, chopped it...

Meko and Morgan are back on the Pride of Detroit YouTube Channel, discussing Za’Darius Smith’s recent comments expressing his desire to return to the Lions.

I never thought I'd be saying this while writing about the Detroit Lions, but man, a big shoutout to Kash Doll.

On a serious note, dating Kash Doll may not directly end up helping to facilitate defensive end Za’Darius Smith’s desire to return to the Motor City, but it certainly might be helping the Lions cause. Smith has really seemed to have embraced the city of Detroit... and oh yeah, he also really likes their...

With so many changes in the offseason for the Lions, which three Secret Superstars will help to maintain Dan Campbell’s standard?

“Brain Drain.” It’s the one term that every Lions fan is already sick and tired of hearing.

Of course, when you lose two of the best coordinators in the NFL in Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn to their own well-deserved head coaching jobs, that’s going to be a story. It doesn’t help that center Frank Ragnow, one of the NFL’s best, toughest, and smartest players at his position, recently decided to retire. That is a lot of IQ points...

Can the Detroit Lions afford to keep more players now that Frank Ragnow’s contract will come off the books?

One of the bigger challenges facing the Detroit Lions in the upcoming years is the ability to retain all of the talent they currently have. General Manager Brad Holmes has talked about this issue several times over the past year, noting that difficult decisions are headed his way. Detroit has been able to find success through the draft, cashing in on cheap rookie contracts for big production on the field. However, that bill is coming soon for many of those players—and...

The Lions enter 2025 with a slew of road games against powerhouse teams. Which is the most likely to end in a victory for Detroit?

The Detroit Lions enter 2025 staring down an absolute gauntlet of a schedule. They play in what is expected to once again be one of the league’s strongest divisions, as well as facing several of the league’s most notorious powerhouses on the road.

Of course, we can’t really ever refer to Detroit as underdogs. It’s hard to underestimate a team that was the one seed in the 2024 playoffs and inches away from the [Super...

Kerby Joseph’s personality shined in this video of him randomly visiting a local Detroit firefighting station.

When it comes to offseason content, some of my favorite involves getting to know Detroit Lions players on a more personal level. We were afforded that possibility this week thanks to Lions safety Kerby Joseph’s official YouTube page.

On Tuesday, Joseph posted an 18-minute video of him essentially crashing a local Detroit fire department. In the video, he just walks up to the fire department in TechTown, Detroit, (specifically Engine 17, Ladder 7, Chief 5) hoping to meet some local firefighters and check out...

The Detroit Lions remain one of the most popular teams when it comes to official NFL merchandise sales.

On Wednesday, the NFL Players Association dropped the top-50 player rankings of officially-licensed NFL merchandise sales. The Detroit Lions continue to prove their value as a growing franchise by landing five players on the list. The list covers a full calendar year, from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025.

Breaking down what a Za’Darius Smith contract would look like with the Detroit Lions.

This week, free agent pass rusher Za’Darius Smith made it clear he would love to play for the Detroit Lions again in 2025.

“We both know where I want to be,” Smith told USA TODAY. “Hopefully I can get back to Detroit because the coaching staff and everybody in the front office are great. When I’m there I feel like a leader and like I can influence the young guys and do great things. Hopefully I can get back to where I want to be in...

Our latest SB Nation Reacts survey asks fans about their interest in Michigan’s other professional football team.

Welcome to another installment in SB Nation’s Reacts survey series. This week, we are asking Detroit Lions fans one question: Will you be watching the Michigan Panthers in the UFL Championship?

You may not have noticed, but near the end of March—right in between the NFL’s free agency and draft events—the United Football League (UFL) began its 10-week 2025 regular season. At 6-4, the Panthers finished in second place behind the defending UFL Champions, The Birmingham Stallions.

With only four teams in each...

It’s not easy replacing an All-Pro center.

The Detroit Lions were already in the process of replacing one solid starter on the offensive line, but now they need to do it with two. After OTAs, a new picture is emerging of what the new line could look like, but there’s still a lot of concern across the land as to how this will all piece together before training camp.

On this episode of the Pride of Detroit PODcast, the whole crew is back together and we discuss how the Lions are handling the retirement of Frank Ragnow and who at...
