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 […]
2026 Detroit Lions schedule: 1 intriguing matchup for every game (Part 2)
Continuing the two-part series evaluating one intriguing matchup from each of the Lions’ 17 games, this installment shifts focus to Weeks 10-18 after Part 1 covered the front half of the schedule earlier this week. Keep in mind, this exercise is simply one avenue to begin providing analysis for each matchup. The selections are not […]
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 […]
Discussion: Who is the most overlooked Detroit Lions player?
The Detroit Lions’ roster is nearly at 90 players, and it can be hard to keep track of everyone. With new players being added all offseason long, some players who have hung around from last year or longer have been pushed down the depth chart and maybe even forgotten by some more casual fans. So […]
Why Lions’ Jack Campbell didn’t feel need to be highest-paid LB
Jack Campbell, one of the Detroit Lions’ first-round picks in 2023, is coming off a season in which he was named First-Team All-Pro. Among all NFL linebackers, he finished the 2025 season second in tackles and second in PFF grade. Heading into the final year of his rookie contract, at just 25 years old, Campbell […]
6 things to watch during Detroit Lions OTAs
The Detroit Lions’ three-week Organized Team Activities program kicks off on Wednesday. It’ll be the first field work open to media for the 2026 season, and with player and coach availability, it’ll be an opportunity to learn plenty about the team this year. We haven’t talked to coach Dan Campbell since the owners meetings, and […]
Detroit Lions OTAs preview: Things we’re hoping to learn
The Detroit Lions begin their Organized Team Activities (OTAs) on Wednesday, and it’ll be the first chance for the media to see the 2026 team in action. Prior to this week, the Lions’ program has only consisted of Phase 1 and 2 of the offseason. That’s primarily a focus on conditioning, rehab, and some individual […]
Jack Campbell contract details: Full breakdown of cap hits, future outs
A week after the Detroit Lions announced that 2023 first-round pick Jack Campbell signed a four-year extension, the full details of the deal appear to be out. Tuesday night, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press provided partial details of the $81 million contract, and OverTheCap filled out the rest of the details by Wednesday […]
Discussion: Which Detroit Lions player benefited most from offseason moves?
The Detroit Lions may not have had a bunch of blockbuster moves this offseason, but they also weren’t very complacent, either. They signed 15 external free agents this offseason—well above their average under general manager Brad Holmes—in addition to adding seven draft picks and nine undrafted free agents. Their scope was wide in improving upon […]
Lions rookie Derrick Moore looking to ‘dominate’ with Aidan Hutchinson
Detroit Lions second-round pick Derrick Moore missed Aidan Hutchinson’s presence at the University of Michigan by just a single year. But the minute he stepped on the field, he was already chasing Hutchinson’s shadow. That started with trying to catch Hutchinson’s single-season program record of 14.0. “Yeah, that was definitely one of my goals, trying […]
2026 Detroit Lions schedule: 1 intriguing matchup for every game (Part 1)
With the 2026 Detroit Lions schedule officially released and most of the offseason tentpole moments now behind us, only organized team activities and minicamp, for some teams, stand between us and the training camp buzz. The November Germany-Thanksgiving 12-day sandwich and the end-of-season divisional road gauntlet stand out, but outside of those logistical hurdles, the […]
Discussion: Most interesting Detroit Lions players to watch during OTAs
After over a month of offseason workouts, the Detroit Lions finally begin their Organized Team Activities (OTAs) this week. The difference between the two activities is both subtle and important. The previous workouts have been mainly focused on conditioning, rehabbing, and getting in some individual/positional drills. There haven’t been any offense vs. defense drills, one-on-ones, […]
Discussion: Describe your Memorial Day weekend
Hey, all! While Detroit Lions organized team activities (OTAs) begin later this week, I wanted to pause our team coverage for a day to just take a step back and have a non-sports related Question of the Day. It’s Memorial Day, and whether you’re living in the United States or elsewhere, or come from a […]
Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule superlatives: Game we’re most convinced is a win
Another day, another opportunity to include an entry in our superlative series on the Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule. Over the course of this week, we’ve broken down a different angle of Detroit’s schedule every day, with each of us on staff offering our unique perspective on what the schedule makers have put together for the […]
Which former Lion is most likely to succeed with their new team?
For some Detroit Lions fans, once a player leaves for another team, they never think about them again. It’s understandable. You’re only a Lions fan, so the minute a player is no longer a Lion, you are no longer a fan of them. While I don’t adhere to this logic, I certainly get it. Others […]

Notes: Lions use team superfan to break Jack Campbell extension news
Forgoing a team announcement or a sports journalist, the Detroit Lions chose to break the news they have extended linebacker Jack Campbell with the help of a Lions superfan. Diehard Lions supporter Sweta Patel posted on X on at 1:45 p.m. Thursday that Campbell will stay a Lion, citing “inside sources.” Because she’s not a […]
Who will be the next to be paid from the Lions’ 2023 draft class?
Well, everyone can take a breath now. A few weeks ago when the news broke that the Detroit Lions would not be picking up the fifth-year option for Jack Campbell, one of two first-round selections from the 2023 draft class along with running back Jahmyr Gibbs, there were certainly some uneasy feelings around the fan […]
ESPN suggests unlikely free agent signing for Detroit Lions, Pro Bowl defensive end
The Detroit Lions have a couple of roster spots open and an estimated $23.6 million in cap space left. As evidenced by their signing of wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr., the Lions are certainly still interested in adding talent and competition to their roster. But there are obviously going to be limits on who they […]

Contract terms weren’t initially disclosed, but on Thursday night, they were revealed. As first reported by Ian Rapoport, Campbell’s deal is worth $81 million total, including $51.5 million […]
Jack Campbell signs long-term extension with Detroit Lions
It appears Jack Campbell will be a Detroit Lion for the foreseeable future. As first reported by Sweta Patel—and later confirmed by the player himself (and the team)—the Lions linebacker has agreed to a long-term extension. Details were not initially available, but the team announced he is now signed through the 2030 season. That makes […]
Lions draft film study: Breaking down the all-22 of OT Blake Miller
We are back to work over at the Pride of Detroit YouTube channel with a breakdown of Detroit Lions first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, offensive tackle Blake Miller. Over the last few weeks, myself and my good friend and host of the Pride of Detroit PODcast, Meko Scott, watched all of the Miller […]
Lions mailbag: Why is Jared Goff still being overlooked?
We’ve officially reached the “player rankings” portion of the offseason, and it was kicked off this week by a particularly offensive quarterback ranking by friends-of-the-show, ESPN’s Mina Kimes and Ben Solak. This week, they did a NFL quarterback draft. To be clear, this isn’t a standard ranking of the NFL passers, it’s a draft where […]
