Lions no longer appear interested in Adam “Pacman” Jones

There’s been a lot of talk as of late about where Adam “Pacman” Jones may end up, and for awhile the Lions appeared to be in the running. MLive.com reports though the team no longer seems to feel that Jones is in their plans, as they are moving on without thoughts of inking him. Detroit [...]

Sharper to Visit with Jaguars and Cowboys

Well scratch my “Sharper to the Lions” theory, the two teams interested in signing Sharper were revealed to be the Jags and Cowboys.  Adam Schefter of ESPN broke the news.

Could the Lions be Interested in Darren Sharper?

Profootballtalk.com is reporting that two teams are interested in signing New Orleans Saints safety Darren Sharper.  The Saints have an offer on the table for Sharper, but Sharper was recovering from knee surgery when the Saints made the offer.  The offer is most likely less than Sharper or his agent feel he is worth, so Sharper [...]

With the 128th Overall Pick the Lions Take Jason Fox

Fox is a technician with a bit of an injury history.  He is very consistent and is a high motor guy, but he doesn’t have the athleticism to be an elite left tackle.  This selection is a shot across the bow of Gosder Cherilus, who has not been consistant due to a lack of focus.  Fox [...]

The Lions Select CB Amari Spievey from Iowa

I am not the biggest Spievey fan, I would have preferred Brandon Ghee from Wake Forrest.  Here are my thoughts on Spievey: Amari Spievey, Iowa – More of a zone defender because he lacks athleticism and speed.  Tall and physical, but he doesn’t have good ball skills and slightly below average instincts. He has potential, but [...]

With the 66th Overall Pick…

Right now weare looking at a handful of players that I was hoping would be available when the Lions pick at 66.  I think it’s going to be a cornerback or maybe linebacker. I’m a huge fan of Brandon Ghee and there are some safety prospects that I really like as well.  Navorro Bowman, the linebacker [...]
