Ranking 10 NFL teams positioned to make major progress during 2024 offseason (4. Detroit Lions:  A team that finished one win shy of the Super Bowl for only the second time in its beleaguered history won’t be drafting very high on the heels of its NFC championship game berth – and GM Brad Holmes and HC Dan Campbell are fine with that and will have an extra third-rounder (for a draft hosted by Motown) thanks to the 2022 trade of TE T.J. Hockenson. The Lions also have nearly $45 million in cap space, money that could be used to keep or replace guards Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Jonah Jackson and/or improve in other areas. This could also be the time to extend QB Jared Goff, who’s heading into his walk year, a move that could actually create more financial room to maneuver in the short term. Among teams that qualified for the NFL’s version of the Final Four last season, none of the others has anything close to Detroit’s upward mobility.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2024/02/20/bears-packers-among-10-nfl-teams-poised-to-make-big-offseason-moves/72624578007/

Highest-graded quarterbacks from the 2023 NFL season: Josh Allen leads the way (10. JARED GOFF, DETROIT LIONS: 85.7.  Goff’s incredible run this season amounted to the highest-graded performance of his career. The Lions passer set career marks in turnover-worthy play rate (2.4%), helping to limit his overall rate of negatively graded throws to just 12.2% — an 81st-percentile figure among quarterbacks.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-highest-graded-quarterbacks-2023-nfl-season

NFC North Forecast 2024: One Move Every Team Should Make This Offseason (Detroit Lions - One move they should make: Sign Jaylon Johnson or L’Jarius Sneed.  The Lions have one of the best rosters in the NFL, but their secondary was again an issue during the 2023 season. The team didn’t get much positive results from splurging on defensive backs Cameron Sutton, C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Emmanuel Moseley last free agency. Detroit’s defense needs a true lockdown outside cornerback and perhaps that player could be available next month. Chicago’s Jaylon Johnson and Kansas City’s L’Jarius Sneed are viewed as the best cornerbacks in this year’s free agency—if their respective teams allow them to hit the open market. Johnson, who emerged as one of the best cornerbacks in the league during a breakout ’23 season, was rated the No. 1 cornerback by Pro Football Focus with a 90.8 defense grade. Sneed had a dominant postseason run to help the Chiefs win back-to-back Super Bowls.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/02/20/2024-nfl-nfc-north-one-move-every-team-lions-packers-bears-vikings
