The Lions signed center Dominic Raiola to a four-year contract extension, keeping him in Detroit through at least the 2013 season. According to FOXSports.com's Alex Marvez, the extension is worth $20 million ($9 million guaranteed). Raiola's base salary this coming season will be $4...
Lions Agree to Deal with Jansen, Release Bradley
Right tackle Jon Jansen was released by the Redskins earlier today, and already the Lions have made their move by agreeing to a one-year deal with the former Michigan Wolverine. The deal will become official if Jansen passes a physical on Monday. Assuming that happens, Jansen would join the...
Thursday Notes: Lions Sign Ephraim Salaam
The Lions signed veteran offensive tackle Ephraim Salaam today. Salaam has been in the league for 11 seasons already and has played for 4 teams prior to signing with the Lions. He visited the Lions back in early April and left without a deal. He wanted to wait until after the draft to make...
Monday Notes: Lions Release One, Add Two
The Lions released middle linebacker Chris Graham on Friday and signed wide receiver Tommy Saunders, an undrafted free agent from Missouri. Defensive end Jason Hunter is now a Lion. He was released by the Packers last week and has already joined the Lions. Hunter had the most special teams...
Friday Notes: Lions Sign Pair of Players
As noted in a FanShot yesterday, the Lions signed wide receiver Ronald Curry and fullback Terrelle Smith to one-year deals. Curry visited earlier this week and helps upgrade the wide receiver position. Regardless of whether or not Matthew Stafford is drafted, the Lions needed to improve their...
Wednesday Notes: Lions Claim WR Will Franklin Off Waivers
Just a heads up, I am going to do a second-round for the Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. My plan is to post the No. 33 pick later today just like I did with all of the first-round selections since it belongs to the Lions. For the rest of the round, however, I am going to include four or...
Thursday Notes: Lions Sign Matt Lentz
Pro Football Talk is reporting that the Lions are "locking in" on Matthew Stafford. While this news wouldn't surprise me one bit (you would think negotiations would be escalating by now), I'm not completely convinced Stafford will be the pick. It seems likely, but maybe the Lions have finally...
Thursday Notes: Lions to Request Sanchez to Do Extra Drills at His Pro Day
Thanks to a FanPost for giving me the heads up, the Lions signed offensive guard James Blair and released wide receiver Reggie Ball last week. Blair is from Western Michigan and was a rookie last season. He was a member of the Bengals after being signed as an undrafted free agent and was...
Lions Sign TE Will Heller, Release LB Anthony Cannon
The Lions signed free agent tight end Will Heller and released linebacker Anthony Cannon. Heller played for the Seahawks the last three seasons. Cannon has been on and off the Lions' roster since he was drafted in 2006. This move adds depth to the tight end position, but it also may suggest that...
Monday Notes: Bill Davidson Once Tried to Buy Lions
Tom Kowalski believes the Lions are going to draft a left tackle with the top overall pick. Apparently former Pistons owner Bill Davidson, who passed away on Friday, tried to buy the Lions back in the day. Oh, how history would have been different. Cornerback Chris Carr has reached an...
