We hear tons of things every year from training camps all over the country. The problem is, many of these writers don’t exactly know what they’re watching or what they are talking about. Sorry, but in some cases it’s true. However, we trust Tom Kowalski of MLive.com. He’s as plugged in to the Detroit Lions [...]

Mel Kiper described Ndamukong Suh as “maybe the most dominating defensive tackle I’ve seen in 32 years.” And now the Detroit Lions can celebrate. They have agreed to a five-year deal with their second-overall pick worth $60 million, $40 million guaranteed, according to Jay Glazer. Suh is expected to be a key part of the [...]

Oh boy, this could get ugly. Take this with a grain of salt because it’s coming from Chris Mortensen of ESPN, but he is correct occasionally. Mort says that No. 2-overall pick Ndamukong Suh is looking for more money than the St. Louis Rams gave to the top pick, Sam Bradford. “Word is that Suh’s [...]

This makes perfect sense to us. Last year’s top-overall pick in the NFL, Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions, got $41.7 million guaranteed when he signed. Well, that mark just got shattered. The St. Louis Rams have agreed to a six-year, $78 million contract with QB Sam Bradford. With – get this – $50 million [...]

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz was in Tennessee when the Titans drafted all-world RB Chris Johnson. Johnson isn’t the biggest guy in the world, but he’s continued to show that he can be “the” guy. He puts the dick in our mouth between the tackles, he puts the dick in our mouth on the [...]

The St Louis Rams refused to increase O. J. Atogwe’s tender to 110% of his 2009 salary, so the safety is now an unrestricted free agent and should have plenty of teams calling for his duties. Atogwe didn’t sign the tender that was offered to him at $1.226 million, much less than his 2009 salary [...]

The Philadelphia Eagles have a ton of holes to fill on defense in this upcoming draft. Their biggest problems are with the pass rush on the defensive line and in the secondary. But make no mistake, their LB’s need a huge upgrade too. Well, the Eagles have addressed a major need and have done so [...]

The Washington Redskins seem to be revamping their clubhouse in a very positive way and it all started with bringing coach Mike Shanahan on board and then trading for Donovan McNabb last Sunday. Now it’s time to get rid of the fat and what better place to start then defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth? Per NFL.com’s [...]

Finally, the Detroit Lions get a win. Not on a football field, but in a court of law. A judge has ruled that former WR Charles Rogers must repay $6.1 million of his $9.1 million signing bonus because of his 2005 suspension for substance abuse. Rogers was the second-overall pick in 2003 and never did [...]

The Detroit Lions have reeled in former Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks WR Nate Burleson with a five-year, $25 million deal with $11 million in guarantees. Five years seems to be a bit much for a receiver this close to 30-years old, but these contracts don’t mean jack squat in the NFL anyway. He’ll be [...]

San Diego Chargers beat writer Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune says that he’s hearing out at the NFL Combine that CB Antonio Cromartie could be a member of the Detroit Lions soon. The Chargers were supposedly looking for a running back in return, but they might be willing to take a mid-round draft [...]

Detroit Lions GM Martin Mayhew says that the team plans to draft the best talent available regardless of position in this year’s NFL draft. We think it’s just common sense to know that this doesn’t mean taking a QB #2-overall if there happens to be a good one there.

A league source tells PFT that former Cleveland Browns WR Donte Stallworth is working out for the Detroit Lions. Surprisingly, the Lions could use a WR. Tough to imagine since they took them high in the first round in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. The Lions still have Bryant Johnson and Dennis Northcutt, but the [...]
Former #2-overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, Charles Rogers, has once again found himself in jail. Police picked him up in Novi on an outstanding warrant and the 28-year old was again put in handcuffs (he must have more arrests than TD catches at this point, right?). Roger pleaded guilty in September to driving [...]
The brother of Detroit Lions defensive tackle Grady Jackson has been convicted of second-degree murder following the shooting of his girlfriend earlier this year. After killing her, he turned the gun and shot himself in the chest. We like to have fun and joke around on OTR, but we aren’t sure what’s funny about this. [...]
