The Detroit Lions are in danger having their 3rd front office employee hired by another team in just over a years time.

The Detroit Lions could be in danger of losing another key member of their front office. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Washington Commanders are “working to hire” Lions senior director of football administration Brandon Sosna. Garafolo calls the job a “high-ranking front-office” role, but does not specify what exactly they have in mind with Sosna.

This would be a pretty significant loss for the Lions front office, as Lions general manager Brad Holmes has recently praised...

Williams and Odunze put on the navy and orange for the first time over the weekend.

New Chicago Bears Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze took part in the NFLPA Rookie Premiere over the weekend. In doing so, they donned their new navy and orange Bears gameday uniforms for the very first time.

The Rookie Premiere is a yearly tradition where the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) gathers 40 rookies for their first business event in the league. This year’s event (May 15-19) in Los Angeles marked the 30th time the showcase has been held. In the words, of the NFLPA, the...

Manny Wilkins led the St. Louis Battlehawks to victory on Sunday in his first start since 2018.

St. Louis Battlehawks quarterback A.J. McCarron, the former national championship winner for the Alabama Crimson Tide, was unable to suit up for Sunday’s action after he sustained an ankle injury in Week 7 of the UFL season. His replacement’s name might ring a bell for Green Bay Packers fans: Manny Wilkins.

After starting three seasons for the Arizona State Sun Devils, Wilkins signed as an undrafted free agent with the Packers back in 2019. While he was unable to make the roster that...

A recently-reinstated Detroit Lions WR is back on the free agency market after a short stint with the Buffalo Bills.

Earlier this offseason, the NFL ended the indefinite suspension handed down to several Detroit Lions players who violated the league’s gambling protocol. Since then, the Lions re-signed safety C.J. Moore to a one-year deal. However, another player impacted by those suspensions—receiver Quintez Cephus—finds himself back on the free agency market.

A little over a week after being reinstated, Cephus signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills. But on Thursday, Cephus was cut to make room for free agent safety...

The WCG crew shares some thoughts on the Bears 2024 schedule in this Miltipart roundtable.

We’ve all had some time to digest the 2024 Chicago Bears schedule. We’ve mentally gone through each game and considered the best-case and worst-case scenarios. In the next few days, our team here at WCG will share some of our analysis of the 18-week slate.

Here’s our first topic...

What is the Bears' toughest stretch of games in 2024?

And here’s what we had to say...

Jacob Infante: Week 11 onward is going to be a test for this Bears team. It’s no coincidence that...

Our look at the Vikings’ draft class starts today

Now that the 2024 NFL Draft is officially in the books, it’s time to take a thorough look at all of the players the team drafted last month, and that’s what we’re doing starting today on Vikings Report with Drew and Ted.

You can watch this week’s episode in the embedded player below, or you can head over to the Vikings Report with Drew and Ted YouTube page and watch it there (and feel free to like and subscribe as well).

This week, we’ll be talking about the first player that...

They’ve got a solid history overseas

We’ve known for some time that the Minnesota Vikings were going to be playing a game overseas during the 2024 season. While there are a lot of folks who aren’t necessarily big fans of the team having to play a home game outside of the United States, these opportunities have generally ended pretty well for our favorite team.

Between exhibition games and regular season games, the Vikings have made the trip across the pond to play overseas games seven times, and each time they have come out with a victory. These games encompass four...

After the 2024 NFL Draft, several of us at Windy City Gridiron participated in a 21st-century all-Chicago Bears fantasy draft.

What does that mean? Well, eight of our staffers got together in a randomized snake draft to build out a roster in all three phases consisting only of Bears players from the year 2000 to the present. Some people will argue the 21st century starts in 2001, but they can go to hell. It was a fun exercise, both in trying to build a complete roster and in going down memory lane.

Back in 2018, we ran a similar exercise...

PFF gave the Detroit Lions the highest offseason grade of any NFL team this year. Here’s why.

It’s been a memorable offseason for the Detroit Lions. Not only did they make some uncharacteristically aggressive moves in free agency. Not only did they get even more aggressive in the NFL Draft. But they also locked up three of their biggest foundational pieces on long-term, reasonable contracts that ensure Detroit will be in contention for years to come.

The offseason was so good that PFF gave the Lions the best offseason great of all 32 teams. Detroit was the only team to...

The Detroit Lions have been great in division games lately, but what will their NFC North record be in 2024?

In 2023, the Detroit Lions took over as king of the NFC North for the first time ever. However, in truth, ever since Dan Campbell took over, they’ve been playing like the division champs. Since Detroit hired Campbell, they hold a 11-7 record in the division, and that includes their 3-13-1 rebuilding season. If you limit it to their last two seasons, Detroit is 9-3 in division play.

On paper, the Lions are better than ever going into 2024. Most...

A change to a 4-3 defense could impact which of Lukas Van Ness and Preston Smith will start opposite of Rashan Gary.

Like the defensive tackle position, which we covered yesterday in our preview series, defensive end is another position group that should be allowed to play more freely in new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley’s scheme. The name of the game under Hafley, who will run a 4-3 defense that bases out of single-high coverages, is penetration up front.

Unlike Joe Barry’s scheme, which packed the line of scrimmage with bodies, Hafley’s scheme should feature less weight...

Your poll results are in!

Earlier this week, we asked our readers to answer this question: How confident are you in Matt Eberflus heading into his third season?

As the 2023 season wore on, my desire to see ‘Flus flushed grew. Even though he had the defense playing inspired football in the second half of the season, the three historic late-game collapses were too much. He just didn’t seem like the guy to lead this team into the future.

When the season ended, it became apparent that they intended to draft Caleb Williams first overall, so I wanted a total...
