  • Lions Weighing Penei Sewell Position Switch to Left Tackle

    Lions Weighing Penei Sewell Position Switch to Left Tackle
    Mar 31 2026
    Detroit Lions General Manager Brad Holmes recently discussed the team’s strategy for restructuring their offensive line following the departure of veteran Taylor Decker. The primary focus of these changes involves potentially moving All-Pro talent Penei Sewell from right tackle to left tackle. Holmes emphasized that Sewell’s prior experience and versatility allow the organization to remain flexible when evaluating new additions like Larry Borom. This tactical shift suggests the team is prioritizing the best overall player fit rather than being restricted by specific positional labels. While a reunion with Decker remains unlikely, the front office appears confident in their current roster depth and Sewell's ability to protect the quarterback's blind side.

  • D.J. Wonnum Signs One-Year Deal With Detroit Lions

    D.J. Wonnum Signs One-Year Deal With Detroit Lions
    Mar 19 2026
    The Detroit Lions have expanded their defensive roster by securing pass rusher D.J. Wonnum on a short-term contract worth as much as $6 million. This transaction marks a significant change for the veteran athlete, who previously played for the Carolina Panthers following a four-year tenure with the Minnesota Vikings. Although Wonnum faced recent challenges with injuries and reduced statistical production, he brings a career total of 30 sacks to a rebuilding Detroit defense. He joins former teammate Cade Mays as the second prominent player to transition from Carolina to Michigan during this free agency period. The move highlights the Lions' strategy of adding experienced depth while the Panthers focus on clearing financial commitments.

  • Rebuilding the Lions' Edge Rush

    Rebuilding the Lions' Edge Rush
    Mar 19 2026
    The Detroit Lions are navigating a difficult offseason focused on revamping their roster following a lackluster 2025 campaign. While high-profile contract extensions for young stars limit their spending power, the front office must address a critical lack of depth at the edge rusher position. Beyond standout Aidan Hutchinson, the team faces significant vacancies due to the departure of veterans and ongoing injury concerns with players like Marcus Davenport. To compensate for these losses and a rebuilding offensive line, General Manager Brad Holmes is expected to target multiple experienced free agents for situational roles. Potential acquisitions like Joey Bosa or Jadeveon Clowney could help stabilize the defense alongside new signing D.J. Wonnum. Ultimately, the team's strategy relies on affordable veteran rotations to bolster their pass rush before the upcoming draft.
