Rumors? Maybes? News about players the Lions have been linked to? Keeping tabs on the North? Get in here!
For anyone that actually signs or agrees to a contract with the Lions, I’ll do a separate post.
The Ravens have signed Derrick Henry to 2 years, $16M.
Kahlil Mack has restructured his contract to stay with the Chargers.
Bears have signed D’Andre Swift to a 3 year, $24M deal.
Get ready to see him on IR twice a year.
Franchise-tagged WR Tee Higgins requests trade from Bengals.
I don’t expect the Lions to be in on him, but I’ve heard us linked to him. Just wishful thinking most likely.
The North is getting spicy!
Packers expected to sign ex-Raiders RB Josh Jacobs. Yeah, THAT Josh Jacobs that led the league in rushing in 2022.
Edit: Packers have released RB Aaron Jones.
Vikings signing edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel. 2 years, $20M.
Packers sign safety Xavier McKinney to 4 years, $68 million
Rumored Lions targets:
Bengals DT DJ Reader
Browns CB Greg Newsome II
Chiefs CB L’Jarius SneedThe LA Rams have signed Jonah Jackson (Detroit Lions) to a 3 year, $51M deal. Not completely unexpected to lose him, but now we need to look for another Guard.
Raiders have agreed to terms with Christian Wilkins. 4 years, $110M, with $84.75 guaranteed.
Scratch Wilkins off your Lions FA Bingo card.
Vikings have agreed to terms with edge rusher Jonathan Greenard. 4 years, $76M.
Another you can cross off your Bingo cards.
Kirk Cousins agrees to a 4 year deal with the Atlanta Falcons. Terms unknown for now. There went the Bears’ rumored trade partner for Fields.
Edit: 4 years, $180M, ~45M/year. Don’t be surprised if this is what we pay Goff.
Giants have traded for Brian Burns, and signed him to a five-year deal worth a maximum of $150 million with $87.5 million guaranteed.
Scratch Burns off your Lions FA bingo card.
Day 2 of the legal tampering period. Will the Lions still pursue trades for top CBs? Are we trying to sign Danielle Hunter? Tell me your opinion.
My take: We pursue Hunter, and draft a guard with our first pick. Use our 2nd and 3rd on DT/CB.
Former Packer RB Aaron Jones signs with the Vikings. 1 year, $7M.
