Heading into the offseason, many believed (and still do believe) it was a foregone conclusion that the WR DJ Chark would be moving on from the Detroit Lions because he probably could get more money playing elsewhere. Well, that was then and this is now, and according to reports, the Lions are still in play for Chark, despite him visiting with the Carolina Panthers. Before the 2022 season, Chark signed a 1-year, $10 million deal with the Lions, and many believed he could get at least that in a multi-year deal during his next contract.

Bliefnick, 39, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and home invasion in the death of his wife, Rebecca Bliefnick, KHQA reports.

Our Detroit Lions signed former Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery during the opening week of free agency. Lions rookie defender Aidan Hutchinson had previously praised Montgomery, calling him a “sneaky” player and comparing him to a “little bowling ball.” While Hutchinson won't have the opportunity to face Montgomery on the opposing team anymore, he'll get to see his skills up close as a teammate.

Don't look now but our Detroit Lions have not only put themselves in a position to win the NFC North in 2023, but some believe they have put themselves in a position to make a run in the NFL Playoffs. After all, the Lions have addressed their secondary in a big way by signing multiple defensive backs, while also signing RB David Montgomery to replace Jamaal Williams, who left for the New Orleans Saints. But, according to NFL analyst Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports, the Lions should now go out and acquire QB Lamar Jackson.

NFL Network analyst Kyle Brandt believes that our Detroit Lions have what it takes to make it to the Super Bowl next season. Despite coming up short of the playoffs last year, Brandt argues that the Lions were a top-five team in the entire NFL at the end of the regular season. He cites the Lions' recent off-season moves, including the signing of running back David Montgomery and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, as evidence that the team is not messing around. Brandt also believes that the Lions' existing roster, including quarterback Jared Goff, will help them surprise people this season.

According to a report from Field Yates, Detroit Lions defensive end Romeo Okwara has agreed to take a HUGE pay cut in order to help his team free up some much-needed cap space. Okwara's decision to take a $9 million pay cut saves the Lions nearly $9 million in cap space, which they can use to make more aggressive moves in free agency.
