“Don’t sign the injured guy” -Lions fans “Don’t sign the guy with legal troubles” -Lions fans “Don’t sign the guy who’s regressed” -Lions fans “Trade for the guy whose deal just got backed out on!” -Lions fans

Fun fact for Lions fans -- free agency isn't a competition. It's not about who can spend the most money or get every player. It's about making smart moves to better shape your roster as you continuously build through the draft. There's no reason to believe that Brad Holmes is "failing." He's not. The day isn't over and keep in mind, it's freaking Monday. It's also worth noting that the chances of your team filling every single need on the board via free agency is highly unlikely. Take a breath.

A sneak peak at what to expect from Detroit Lions NEWEST Center Cade Mays 👀

Mays is a stylistic fit with the physical identity of a Dan Campbell team and Hank Fraley OL room. Great situation to maximize his upside. From my FA rankings: trenchwarfare.substack.com/p/2026-ol-free…

Thank you for everything, D-Mo 💙

Early foreign substance checks were completely unhinged.

You won’t see this in D3. Wanna know why? Coaches had the boys perfecting bunt d and 1st and 3rds in the back of the auditorium for a month now. #WhyD3 #d3baseball

Justin Verlander hasn’t tweeted in almost 4 years and isn’t even verified on here. But he just changed his avatar to an old Tigers picture & tweeted out this real. Same thing on IG. Hadn’t posted in years.

The #Lions have reached out to former #Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel about their vacant offensive coordinator position, sources say. McDaniel is a top candidate for any open OC job.

Lions offense last year: First in points for, 2nd in total yards Lions offense this year: First in points for, third in total yards You’re watching film of a team with a backup LT, an LG playing hurt, a 3rd string C playing his second game, and rookie RG Not a play call thing

Any reference to “SOL” shows a complete laziness and inability to move on from the past that it borders on pathological. SOL was buried two years ago. It’s over. Done. Finished. The Lions sucked today, but it wasn’t SOL. It’s football. Get out of here with that “analysis.”

You’re down your: - Pro-Bowl Tight End - TE2 & TE3 - Starting Guard - Starting Corner - WR3 - Pro-Bowl Safety - All-Pro Safety And about 10+ others on IR/PUP/Out For Season This is not normal 💔 #OnePride

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs now has scored 47 touchdowns and tied Barry Sanders for the most touchdowns in a player’s first three NFL seasons.

PRIME TIME DUB
