- I can't say I expected Garrett Reynolds to get a deal like this based on how he performed for the Lions last season:
It's a two-year $2.2M deal for OL Garrett Reynolds and the #Rams, a source said. Contract has a max value of $4.2M.

- Despite losing Ndamukong Suh, the Lions' Super Bowl odds haven't changed for next season.
After one week of NFL free agency, #Lions odds to win Super Bowl remain the same at 33/1, per @BovadaLV

- Dominic Raiola's career with the Lions is already over, and it sounds like his NFL career as a whole may be over as well considering "there has been no movement on anything" for him since free agency began, according to ESPN's Michael Rothstein.

Calvin Johnson got engaged this week.
- SB Nation's latest 2015 NFL mock draft has the Lions taking Florida State defensive tackle Eddie Goldman in the first round.
- Quite a few rule changes have been proposed for the 2015 NFL season. Most of them revolve around replay and what can actually be reviewed, but this is a pretty, well, unique idea:
Colts proposing if go for 2 points after TD and make it, can attempt bonus kick for 9th point from midfield.
