Discussion: What is the best era of Detroit Lions football?
On Monday night, the Michigan Wolverines defeated the UConn Huskies to win the Men’s Basketball Championship for the 2025-26 season. The title comes just a few years after the Wolverines’ football team also produced a National Championship. And later this week, the men’s hockey team will compete in the Frozen Four to potentially make it […]
NFL Draft rumors: Detroit Lions ‘love’ one of the top OT prospects
NFL Draft rumor season is here, and that means you should take every word in this article with a grain of salt. But when a high-profile draft expert drops an interesting line about the Detroit Lions, we have a hard time ignoring it completely. The latest comes from long-time NFL Draft expert—and former NFL scout—Daniel […]
Detroit Lions re-sign safety Avonte Maddox
Suddenly, the Detroit Lions’ safety room is feeling a bit crowded. On Monday, the Lions announced that they’ve re-signed veteran defensive back Avonte Maddox. Immediate contract details were not made available. Maddox returns to the team after a very solid first season in Detroit in 2025. The former fourth-round pick spent his first seven seasons […]

Notes: NFL announces Detroit Lions offseason workout dates

The idea behind voluntary offseason workout programs is to allow players to train and work on their conditioning.

5 OT-hungry teams that could disrupt Detroit Lions’ draft
While there is no certainty that the Detroit Lions will select an offensive tackle with the 17th overall pick, it is certainly a high possibility. With Taylor Decker and Dan Skipper leaving this offseason and Detroit only adding Larry Borom on a one-year deal, offensive tackle remains both a short and long-term need. This year’s […]

Discussion: Which 2025 starter could lose their starting role in 2026?
By the time that the 2026 regular season rolls around, the Detroit Lions’ starting lineup could look quite different to 2025. For one, the Lions have lost multiple contributors in free agency. The Lions have supplemented these departures with external signings and will continue to do so with the NFL Draft. However, there is also […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Baltimore Ravens select Francis Mauigoa
The Detroit Lions are just three picks away from being on the clock in our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft.

Report: Taylor Decker not interested in signing with NFC North rivals
It’s been a quiet market for former Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker since the team granted his release request last month. That isn’t to say that the market has been cold, necessarily—Decker could simply be taking his time, weighing his options, and is likely still considering retirement. However, according to one Detroit Lions beat […]
Penei Sewell: left or right tackle — Lions fans nearly all agree
Earlier this week, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts survey, sponsored by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook, asking Detroit Lions fans one question: Would you prefer the Lions to shift Penei Sewell to LT or keep him at RT? For this hypothetical exercise, most Lions fans said their preferences aligned with what coach […]
Discussion: What is a Detroit Lions sneaky need for the NFL Draft?
As we approach the 2026 NFL Draft, the talk around the Detroit Lions has surrounded two specific needs: offensive tackle and defensive end. The discussion is warranted, as the Lions find themselves thin at both areas. After moving on from Taylor Decker and watching Dan Skipper retire, the Lions have only added Larry Borom to […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Dallas Cowboys select CB Mansoor Delane
The Dallas Cowboys are on the clock in our Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. Please, please, hold your boos. Selecting for the Cowboys in this mock draft is commenter 1951LION.

2026 NFL mock draft: Kansas City Chiefs select Caleb Downs
When I was first reminded that the Kansas City Chiefs had the ninth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, I was trying remember what they traded to get a top-10 pick. It quickly dawned on me just how much of a disaster the 2025 season was for the Chiefs, and the reason they have […]

What it might cost Detroit Lions to move up in 2026 NFL Draft
It wasn’t the eventful, splashy, or exciting free agency people had hoped it would be for the Detroit Lions. A three-year, $25 million deal for Cade Mays headlined a bunch of other short-term solutions while long-term fits marinate. But even if Detroit’s approach to free agency left you wanting more, there’s still time for them […]

Discussion: Predicting the Detroit Lions’ 2026 starting offensive line
One of the Detroit Lions’ major offseason goals this year was to fix the offensive line. Last year, the retirement of Frank Ragnow took a huge chunk out of the unit’s efficiency, and with injuries and youth along the interior, there was a lot of inconsistency and downright bad play. Adding to the challenge this […]
