Listen Later


This week on the podcast, the guys review the first week of the 2022 NFL free agency period, discussing the Detroit Lions’ approach. Things have been slow, as the organization spent most of their resources re-signing players, but they did make one splash move at wide receiver.

Here are a few relevant articles discussed on this week’s show:

  • Brad Holmes’ focusing on re-signings
  • Lions contract tracker
  • POD Free agency tracker
  • WR DJ Chark signed, formerly with Jaguars
  • Chark’s contract is for 1 year, $10 million (fully guaranteed)
  • Chark turned down other multi-year offers to join Lions’ culture
  • TE Garrett Griffen signed, formerly with Saints
  • Lions only FA lost: Jalen Reeves-Maybin signed with the Texans
  • Who are the best free agents still available?

    • NFL Free Agency news

    • Lots of quarterback movement
    • In the division:
    • Aaron Rodgers staying in Green Bay, Davante Adams bails for Raiders
    • Bears trade Khalil Mack
    • Vikings double down on Cousins

      • Draft talk

      • Lions officially have 9 picks in the draft
      • Lions’ LB coach Kelvin Sheppard ran Georgia’s LB drills at Pro Day
      • Lions’ Holmes and DC Aaron Glenn at Michigan’s pro day
      • Michigan’s David Ojabo injured his Achilles, is he worth a flier?
