Why the Lions passed on the top free agent edges and why money had nothing to do with it:  https://atozsports.com/nfl/detroit-lions-news/why-the-lions-passed-on-the-top-free-agent-edges-and-why-money-had-nothing-to-do-with-it/


Favorite, least favorite 2026 free-agency moves for all 32 NFL teams (Detroit Lions - Favorite Move: RB Isiah Pacheco.  Pacheco signed a one-year, $1.8 million contract with the Lions — a high-upside addition for the team. Expectations will be lower for Pacheco than they were in Kansas City, as the bulk of the snaps will go to Jahmyr Gibbs. However, in a limited role, Pacheco can still find his old form. The Rutgers alumnus ranked among the top 25 running backs in PFF overall grade in his first two seasons, and his decline coincided with the Chiefs‘ offensive line's downfall.  Least Favorite Move: C Cade Mays.  Detroit is paying Mays as if he is a high-end starter, as his contract carries the ninth-highest average annual value. He has yet to prove he is capable of consistently above-average performances, though. Although he has shown flashes in pass protection — his 67.6 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2025 ranked 12th among centers — he was a liability in the run game during his time in Carolina.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-favorite-least-favorite-2026-free-agency-moves-all-32-nfl-teams

Ranking NFL teams within each division: Ravens, Eagles, Rams unanimous frontrunners; AFC West wide open (The Packers received four out of six first-place votes, with the Lions earning the other two. The NFC North was the strongest division in football, top to bottom, in 2025 -- every team finished with a winning record -- and it portends to be very good again in 2026. The Packers will hope the returns of Micah Parsons and Devonte Wyatt get the defense on track. The Lions hope for better health across the defense, and they still have plenty of offensive firepower. The Bears, who won the division in 2025, suffered some major losses and some significant additions (Coby Bryant, Devin Bush) but still seek a pass rusher. Can Kyler Murray lift the Vikings? If so, watch out for Minnesota.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-division-rankings-2026-free-agency/
