Taking a closer look at the prospects from the 2025 NFL Draft that have been projected to the Detroit Lions over the past week.

We’re less than a month away from the 2025 NFL Draft and while many beat writers are honing in on who their teams may select, draft analysts are starting to get a bit squirrelly.

This is the time of the year when things typically begin to narrow down, but of the 37 mock drafts we explored, 16 prospects were repeated from last week and an additional three players who haven’t been mocked to the Lions all...

The Detroit Lions have re-signed offensive guard Kayode Awosika.

The Detroit Lions have announced that they have re-signed veteran interior offensive lineman Kayode Awosika to an undisclosed contract. Awosika was scheduled to be a restricted free agent, but the Lions elected to forego that option and instead signed him to a new contract.

After spending his rookie season with the Eagles, Awosika joined Philadelphia’s practice squad in his second year as a pro but the Lions poached him for their active roster early in the 2022 season. Awosika would go on to play in 10 games that season, including contributing...

Spring football returns to Ford Field.

As the Michigan Panthers prepare for their season opener this Sunday, former star kicker turned Detroit Lion Jake Bates is throwing his support behind the UFL.

ESPN’s Eric Woodyard put together a great look back on Bates’ journey from the UFL, or United Football League, to the NFL.

“That league did for me what it’s built for,” Bates said, per Woodyard. “It’s built to give people a stage and I was able to get that stage and without that I’m not here. So, I owe so much to the UFL and to the Panthers....

The Detroit Lions’ home will remain named “Ford Field” until at least 2036.

The Detroit Lions and Ford Motor Company have extended their partnership with Ford Field through the 2036 season, the team announced on Friday.

“Renewing our relationship with Ford Motor Company has always been a top priority for us,” Lions president and CEO Rod Wood said in an official statement. “Ford was an integral partner in our move back to downtown Detroit in 2002 and continues to be valuable to the growth of our brand. We are proud to have an iconic, Detroit founded company’s name on our...

The Detroit Lions bolstered their secondary by signing veteran cornerback Rock Ya-Sin. We spoke with Colts expert Chris Shepherd to break down his strengths, weaknesses, and how he might fit in Detroit’s defense.

As the free agency craze reached its lull, the Detroit Lions continued to build out their depth in the secondary by signing veteran cornerback Rock Ya-Sin, who most recently played for the San Francisco 49ers in 2024. A former second-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts in 2019, Ya-Sin brings a physical skill set and a wealth of starting experience to Detroit’s defensive backfield. With his aggressive playing...

What are your thoughts on the Lions putting off their overseas trip for at least another season?

With the NFL’s push towards making football and even more global game, it is only a matter of time until the Detroit Lions make their way overseas for a regular season matchup. However, we can safely say that trip will not be taking place in 2025, with NFL executive vice president of player health and safety Jeff Miller noting that the league will have seven international games in the upcoming season.

There are games set to be played in Germany, Spain, Brazil,...

Detroit Lions LB Alex Anzalone was arguably the best NFL linebacker when it came to this aspect of the game.

It’s no secret that the Detroit Lions like to play man coverage a lot—arguably more than any other team. Typically that discussion is surrounded around the type of cornerbacks the Lions deploy, but don’t forget that linebacker play is also a big part of that gameplan. Our own Al Karsten pointed out that fact on Twitter, noticing that Lions linebackers had some of the highest man-coverage rates of any in the NFL.

Lions linebackers represented three of the four highest...

Former Lions WR Josh Reynolds will be reunited with Aaron Glenn as a New York Jet.

Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds is reuniting with former Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. Per several reports, Reynolds is signing a one-year deal with the New York Jets on a contract with $2.75 million guaranteed and worth up to $5 million.

Reynolds was a key part of Detroit’s rise under general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell. The Lions were short on receivers during the 2021 season when the Tennessee Titans waived Reynolds, per his request. The Lions claimed him off...

New contract details are out, and it gives a look into how much the Detroit Lions value some of their free agent signings.

The next batch of Detroit Lions contract details are in, and they offer a little more perspective on the team’s overall roster and the chances these players end up making an impact on the 2025 season. By looking at overall contract terms—and more specifically, guaranteed money—you can get a sense whether these players will make the 53-man roster, have a critical role, or would be fighting just to make the team during training camp.

So here’s a...

The NFL is trying to make the “dynamic” kickoff a permanent rule change. Are you in favor of that?

Last year, the NFL made a drastic change to the kickoff. In an effort to increase the amount of returns while keeping the play as safe as possible, they adopted a complicated new kickoff that had been trial run in the XFL.

They found some success, but not as much as they wanted. Kickoff returns went from 21.8% in 2023 to just 32.8%. By the end of the season, many teams were not bothering to risk their coverage teams giving up...

Film observations for Arkansas DE Landon Jackson—a potential Detroit Lions target in the 2025 NFL Draft.

With the NFL Draft fast approaching, I’m breaking down potential Detroit Lions draft prospects. Landon Jackson has the prototypical look of a Lions defensive end, carries the leadership pedigree as a two-time Arkansas captain, and, based on film study, could be a strong complementary piece opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Below are my observations on Jackson’s game, including positive traits, deficient traits, and other observations from his tape.

The Detroit Lions may not have made a ton of splashy free agency moves, but one ESPN writer believes they’ve been savvy with their spending.

The Detroit Lions haven’t made a ton of free agency “winners” lists this offseason because of their modest spendings. They have only signed seven external free agents this offseason—only one of whom got a deal longer than a single year or averaged over $4 million a season. Those “winners” are typically awarded to the big spenders this time of year.

However, Benjamin Solak at ESPN ranked each team’s offseason, and did it in a much...
