Za'Darius Smith remains a free agent more than 4 months after his release from Detroit Lions. The team has had dialogue about signing Matthew Judon.

A former Detroit Lions wide receiver has found a new home. According to reports Friday, veteran D.J. Chark is signing with the Atlanta Falcons after visiting the team. This will be the fifth team Chark will suit up for in his career, which includes a one-year stop with Detroit during the 2022 season.

True freshmen Daryus Dixson and LaVar Arrington II are two of the most talented players in James Franklin's 2025 recruiting class.

New Detroit Lions OC John Morton's mission is to improve the NFL's top scoring offense in 2024. And it all starts with quarterback Jared Goff.

Alex Anzalone, Sam LaPorta, Brian Branch, and Jameson Williams are just a few of the Lions looking for extensions, with the last three all looking for longer term ones for their second pro contract. None of those four names will come cheap, either.

As the Detroit Lions complete their fifth day of training camp and the first padded practice, there remains no player I get asked about more than second-year offensive lineman Giovanni Manu. The greenhorn tackle and 2024 fourth-round pick (using a 2025 third-rounder to trade up to acquire him) was selected out of the Canadian USports college level with the knowledge that Manu was very much a developmental project.

For two straight days, coach Dan Campbell had to stop practice due to excessive on-field exuberance. Via Colton Pouncy of TheAthletic.com, Campbell paused practice after “ several scuffles ” broke out. Safety Brian Branch and receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, per Pouncy, “went at it multiple times.”

The former Michigan standout and Marcus Davenport, alongside interior defensive linemen DJ Reader, have been some of the top standouts to open training camp. Davenport has looked like the strong bull rusher the Lions need on the other side, reminding all that his struggles have never been about talent or fit, but simply availability.
