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 […]
Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule superlatives: Best spot to make a statement in a nationally-televised game

Jack Campbell contract details: Where Lions All-Pro ranks among LBs
On Thursday afternoon, the Detroit Lions announced that All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell signed a four-year extension—one that will keep him under contract through the 2030 NFL season. 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 […]
Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule superlatives: Toughest stretch of the schedule

What is the Detroit Lions’ ceiling for wins in 2026?
On Wednesday, we talked about the Detroit Lions’ floor for the 2026 season. Based on the team’s talent and their easy-looking schedule, it’s fair to say that even if most things don’t break the Lions’ way this season, expectations remain very high. Currently, 61% of Lions fans polled in Wednesday’s Question of the Day have […]
Notes: NFL continuing to pour more resources into international games
The NFL continues to set its sights internationally with more games added to the list beyond 2026, but one tweak to international game policy may draw some pushback. On Tuesday, the NFL approved an amendment to allow up to 10 league-run international games per season, which could happen as early as 2027, reports The Athletic. […]
Detroit Lions add veteran wide receiver
The Detroit Lions continue to add to their roster ahead of Organized Team Activities. On Wednesday, they announced they’ve signed veteran receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. The 6-foot-2, 197-pound receiver has been in the NFL for eight seasons. He began his professional football journey as a sixth-round pick for the Dallas Cowboys in 2018. There, he […]
Ranking chances of each Detroit Lions UDFA making the roster
Prior to last year, the Detroit Lions had at least one undrafted rookie make the team’s initial 53-man roster for 15 consecutive seasons. This year’s UDFA class includes nine players, and could eventually include more because Detroit still has a few remaining roster spots. Predicting which UDFAs could make the roster is tough. All of […]
Opponent writers predict the Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule
Last week, we provided our own game-by-game predictions for the Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule. But let’s turn that idea on its head. Instead, let’s see how the Lions’ 2026 opponents see how Detroit’s season will play out. For this exercise, I tallied the game-by-game prediction from SB Nation sites of Detroit’s 2026 opponents*. In those […]

What is the floor of wins for the 2026 Detroit Lions?
With the Detroit Lions’ schedule out and the betting lines released, expectations have been set for the 2026 season. Detroit arguably has the easiest schedule in the NFL—even if there are some things we really don’t like about it. They’re favorites in all but three games this season. And while there are certainly a lot […]
2026 Detroit Lions preseason schedule: Dates, times, opponents finalized
In addition to announcing their regular season schedule, the Detroit Lions also announced on Thursday their three-game preseason schedule, although without the dates. This year’s schedule, as usual, features a couple of nearby opponents to minimize travel. It’s also worth noting that Lions coach Dan Campbell already expressed that he doesn’t want to do any […]
Did the Detroit Lions make the right decision with the Germany game?
While NFL teams don’t outright get to choose which international game they want to play it, it’s clear the Detroit Lions made a push in 2026 to get the game in Munich. They already had international marketing rights in Germany, Amon-Ra St. Brown is an instant draw to the local crowd given his German roots, […]
WATCH: Ravens draft war room reacts to Detroit Lions jumping them in 2nd round
As teams release their 2026 NFL Draft war room videos, it can sometimes tell us more about the Detroit Lions’ process. We’ve already seen the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens reveal tarde offers they received from the Lions that ended up not going through. But there’s another moment from the Ravens video that involves […]

Video confirms Detroit Lions had big 1st-round trade up offer in place
A few weeks ago, we detailed two potential trade up offers the Detroit Lions may have had in place in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The first, reported by Nate Atkins of The Athletic, was a trade up attempt with the Los Angeles Rams—from 17 to 13—that LA rejected as too “soft.” […]
2026 NFL schedule: Detroit Lions favored in nearly every game
Late last week, Erik Schlitt and I made our best predictions for the Detroit Lions’ 2026 season based on the recently released NFL schedule. We did our best to try and stay as objective as possible, but couldn’t help but pick pretty great final records based on our game-by-game predictions. But it turns out our […]
