Fifth-Year Option Tracker: Analyzing the most interesting decisions, including Najee Harris (PICKED UP - PICK NO. 7: T PENEI SEWELL, DETROIT LIONS (91.5).  The Lions picked up Sewell’s fifth-year option on their way to making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the league. Sewell is a road-grader on the right side, generating the league’s highest run-blocking grade (95.1) this past season, due largely to his tremendous 20.0% impact block rate.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-fifth-year-option-tracker-2024-najee-harris


5 NFL trades we'd love to see this summer, including Daniel Jones to a surprising team (Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins to the Lions:  The Titans are trying to forge a new path for the franchise with second-year quarterback Will Levis and first-year head coach Brian Callahan. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is still a formidable player at a premium position, but Tennessee might not contend just yet in a treacherous AFC. Sending Hopkins to a Super Bowl-ready team like Detroit, one that could use another sharp option in the passing game, sounds like a great idea to us. The Lions adding Hopkins would make them an even stronger contender in the NFC, and the Titans could use a good draft pick for 2025. Tennessee would also save about $16 million post-June 1 with a trade. POSSIBLE TRADE: Hopkins to Detroit for a 2025 third-round pick):  https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/5-nfl-trades-wed-love-to-see-this-summer-including-daniel-jones-to-a-surprising-team

Ranking the 9 best 2024 NFL offseasons, including the Bears and Lions (2. Detroit Lions - Biggest acquisitions: CB Carlton Davis III (trade), CB Terrion Arnold (draft), CB Ennis Rakestraw Jr. (draft).  On paper, last year’s NFC semifinalists now have the best and most complete roster in the conference. Jameson Williams, as the No. 2 receiver, is probably the only real question mark I have about Detroit now. That’s because revitalizing a shoddy secondary with a lockdown veteran like Davis, one of the best corners in the draft in Arnold and a tough nickel competitor in Rakestraw is extremely sound process. It is the Lions patching over a damaging pothole with earnest efficiency and energy.  This is pound for pound, the second-best team in football now. The Lions are a powerhouse. Anything short of an appearance in next February’s Super Bowl should be considered a failure.):  https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-best-offseasons-ranked-bears-lions-steelers

NFL schedule's best grudge games: Who has something to settle in 2024? (9. Los Angeles Rams at Detroit Lions, Stafford Bowl III - Yes, LA QB Matthew Stafford has now returned to Motown – the Rams unexpectedly encountering the team he led for a dozen seasons in January and losing a 24-23 wild-card round thriller to the Lions. Maybe this season, Stafford – he beat Detroit in Hollywood in 2021 – can enjoy a more laid-back visit to Ford Field in the rubber game given his service to the Lions, possession of his own Super Bowl ring and likelihood his team will again be the underdog against the reigning NFC North champs, who seem closer than ever to their first-ever Lombardi Trophy.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2024/05/07/nfl-schedule-revenge-games-grudge-rematch/73590948007/
