10 NFL teams with the biggest Super Bowl windows (5. DETROIT LIONS:  Built around a strong offensive line, the Detroit offense boasts a relatively high floor, and some improvement on the defensive side can keep the Lions in contention for a Lombardi Trophy over the next couple of seasons. While winning the NFC North might be more of a challenge in the upcoming years if the Packers continue to improve, getting to the Super Bowl still seems to be easier from the NFC, which favors Detroit.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-teams-biggest-super-bowl-windows-2024

The Biggest Holes for Every NFL Team to Fill in Free Agency (Detroit Lions: CB, OL, edge - The Lions are set at safety (Kerby Joseph, Ifeatu Melifonwu) and slot cornerback (Brian Branch). The same can’t be said for outside cornerback after the signings of Cameron Sutton and Emmanuel Moseley backfired in 2023.  Detroit might be in need of offensive linemen if the team doesn’t retain soon-to-be free agents Jonah Jackson and Halapoulivaati Vaitai. Jared Goff has flourished behind the Lions’ stout offensive line over the past two seasons.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/03/04/free-agency-roster-holes-need-offseason-qb-edge-rusher#gid=ci02d77a96a000241d&pid=green-bay-packers-ol-db-lb

Lions Gameday Experience at Ford Field Ranked Best in NFL:  https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/lions-gameday-experience-voted-best


One free agent each NFL team should re-sign in 2024 (Detroit Lions: OL Graham Glasgow:  Detroit’s high-powered offense is built on a foundation of a fantastic offensive line, but there is some uncertainty going forward with that group. Both starting guards from 2023, Graham Glasgow and Jonah Jackson, are unrestricted free agents, as are reserves Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Dan Skipper. Glasgow carries the biggest priority for his ability to also play center, as he had to do last season when Frank Ragnow was injured. Glasgow is a rock-solid lineman who fits the scheme well and offers positional versatility and a popular style of personal leadership in the locker room. – Jeff Risdon, Lions Wire):  https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-free-agency-teams-should-re-sign-in-house-players-2024-season/

One thing we learned about each NFL team at the combine (Detroit Lions - They are ready to invest in their own players.  "Let's run it back" feels like the unofficial motto for the Lions in 2024. After an appearance in the NFC Championship game, the Lions return their offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, quarterback and plenty of other talent on both sides of the ball. Consistency among coaches and coordinators is important, but the Lions are also ready to invest in their own players. First, it was special teams star Jalen Reeves-Maybin, who signed a two-year, $7.5 million deal worth up to $8 million, per NFL Media. That contract makes him the highest-paid core special teams player ever. Now, Detroit is reportedly looking to extend its No. 1 wide receiver in Amon-Ra St. Brown.  Per the Detroit Free Press, the Lions would like to sign St. Brown to an extension this offseason, and the two sides were scheduled to meet at the combine. St. Brown has one more year remaining on his rookie deal, and could be in line to sign a massive contract that makes him one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2024-nfl-combine-one-thing-we-learned-about-every-nfl-team-as-draft-prospects-competed-in-indianapolis/
