On the eve of Monday's NFL's free agency negotiation window, I've drawn the important assignment of judging chili. Thirty of them, to be exact. If you're in the area, stop by, have a beer, complain about Detroit's offseason to date.
The implication is the Lions asked Taylor Decker to take a pay cut for next season. After pushing through the pain the last few seasons, he instead opted to ask for his release: www.detroitfootball.net/p/taylor-dec...

Unfortunate for Jaxson Dart, fortunate for me, in need of a laugh.

After plotting out a roadmap for the Detroit Lions offseason to start the week, it feels like a good time to do a mailbag. Hit me with those questions.
As I teased yesterday afternoon, my annual "Roadmap to the Detroit Lions offseason" published this morning. It's a nearly 5,000-word deep dive into Brad Holmes and company's checklist over the list few months. www.detroitfootball.net/p/a-comprehe...
A different type of Super Bowl preview. I look for overlapping themes with this year's challengers and contrast them against the Lions, looking at gaps Detroit needs to close to be playing this weekend: www.detroitfootball.net/p/as-we-prep...

Little bit of Lions news this afternoon. Because of a CBA provision, Levi Onwuzirke's contract has tolled and he remains in the fold for the 2026 season. www.detroitfootball.net/p/levi-onwuz...
Over the weekend, I dug into Detroit's extensive injury list during the 2025 season, looked for themes and overlaps before comparing their situation to the rest of the league: www.detroitfootball.net/p/recapping-...
