The Detroit Lions will keep guard Graham Glasgow on their offensive line after the two parties agreed to a three-year agreement, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. “Lions are re-signing guard Graham Glasgow to a 3-year, $20 million deal that includes $9.5 million guaranteed, per source.” Glasgow was set to enter NFL free agency this year, but the Lions finally elected to keep him on the roster as part of Jared Goff’s protection unit. The Lions signed Glasgow to a one-year contract worth $2.75 million in 2023, less than a week after he was released by the Denver Broncos. Glasgow…

Former Detroit Lions quarterback Scott Mitchell has spoken out about his time on the team, challenging the narrative surrounding the Lions’ lack of playoff success. In a comprehensive interview with The Athletic, Mitchell revealed his concerns, particularly with teammate Lomas Brown, as well as the organizational mistakes he believes contributed to the team’s troubles. His comments on playing with Barry Sanders, a Pro Football Hall of Fame running back famed for his electric running style, were particularly stunning. Mitchell claims that Sanders’ method frequently put the club at a disadvantage, in contrast to the more effective passing style used during…

Bears general manager Ryan Poles filled a key hole Sunday by signing veteran safety Kevin Byard to a two-year contract just one day before the NFL’s legal tampering window opens on Monday at 11 a.m. C.T. Byard is a 30-year-old, two-time All-Pro safety who will fill the hole vacated by Eddie Jackson’s release. Byard gives the Bears a free safety, whose skill set should mesh well with Jaquan Brisker. Byard is better in coverage than Jackson and a much surer tackler. Last season, Byard earned a coverage grade of 70.3, per Pro Football Focus, and only missed 4.7 percent of his tackles. Jackson earned a…

The Detroit Lions are looking for help at cornerback this offseason, and one source thinks they could target a former Defensive Player of the Year who is nearing the end of his career. According to Pro Football Focus, the Lions are a top potential landing location for free agent Stephon Gilmore, who is returning to the open market after one season with the Dallas Cowboys. The Lions have three cornerbacks entering free agency — Jerry Jacobs, Kindle Vildor, and Khalil Dorsey — and are expected to make some upgrades to a corps that has struggled at times. Lions Advised to…

The New York Yankees made numerous important changes to restructure the squad following a poor 82-80 season in 2023. Despite Cashman’s moves, the Bombers’ infield depth feels a little low right now. Should they file a waiver claim for San Francisco Giants third baseman J.D. Davis to gain some help? Scott Rogust of FanSided identified the Yankees as one of three teams that “should take an easy flier” on Davis. The right-handed hitter started spring training as the Giants’ starting third baseman. That changed recently, when San Francisco acquired four-time Gold Glove winner Matt Chapman. He was also placed on…

Few would dispute that the Detroit Lions couldn’t benefit from an upgrade at defensive tackle in 2024. Free agency begins on March 13, and veteran Christian Wilkins is widely regarded as the finest available defensive lineman on the market. On March 10, ESPN’s Dan Graziano vaguely linked the Lions and Wilkins. “After Chris Jones landed a big deal on Saturday night, Miami’s Christian Wilkins is likely to be a hot name, with contending teams such as the Texans and Lions looking to upgrade at that position,” Graziano noted in an email. Graziano was referring to the Kansas City Chiefs’ record-setting…

After trading superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets last offseason, the Green Bay Packers appeared to be a few years away from returning to playoff contention, with no guarantee that Jordan Love was the right man for the job under center. Despite a sluggish start to the 2023 season, the Packers were able to turn things around thanks to Love’s improved play and eventually clinched a spot in the NFL playoffs, setting up a first-round meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. A Green Bay Packers helmet is shown on the sideline before the game versus the Seattle Seahawks…

The free agency negotiation period begins at Noon ET on Monday, and while most expect the Detroit Lions will be active at cornerback, ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports that the Lions could make a big splash at defensive tackle. According to Graziano, the Lions and Houston Texans will likely compete for Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins’ services. “After Chris Jones landed a big deal on Saturday night, Miami’s Christian Wilkins is likely to be a hot name, with contending teams such as the Texans and Lions looking to upgrade at that position,” Graziano wrote in the early hours of Sunday morning.…

Following the 2023 college football season, the Georgia Bulldogs roster saw a few departures. In response to the large number of departures, the Bulldogs made a few moves of their own to guarantee that they had enough quality on their roster to compete for a national championship. With more recruits to this year’s team than in previous years, identifying all of the Bulldog newcomers may prove to be a major issue. Here is a list of new Bulldogs that are expected to make the largest impact in their first year with the squad. TREVOR ETIENNE Etienne’s transfer to the University…

The Detroit Lions and cornerback Emmanuel Moseley negotiated a new contract agreement before free agency, and the terms of the one-year pact are now published on OverTheCap.com. In 2023, the Lions were aggressive in acquiring Moseley, and despite his recovery from an ACL injury, they signed him to a one-year contract worth $5.3 million, with the option to earn an additional $700,000 in playing time bonuses. Unfortunately, Moseley’s ACL recovery suffered a setback, and his return to the field was postponed. When he finally got on the field, he barely played two snaps before ripping his other ACL, ending his…
