Jordon Dizon Finally Signs With Lions
Lions second-round pick Jordon Dizon has signed with Detroit, meaning he can finally get to practice. "It's done, it's signed,'' Schaffer said. The deal is believed to be for four years and Dizon is expected to be at the Lions' afternoon practice later today. Dizon missed the first three...
Campbell to Coach Football, Hope for Shot With Lions in 2010
For the next 6 months at least, Caleb Campbell will be serving the Army by being a football coach. That's much better than being over in Iraq or Afghanistan, but it really makes me wonder why he couldn't just play for the Lions instead. I get that the ruling is what it is, but to take Campbell's...
What's the Deal With Dizon?
With one full day of practice complete, the Lions are moving forward full speed ahead. Well, almost all the Lions are. Aside from Caleb Campbell, who was ordered back to West Point, Jordon Dizon is the only Lions rookie that wasn't participating in practice today. It's not that he's injured or...
Details of Gosder Cherilus' Contract
It's nice when the Lions don't have to break the bank to pay first-round draft picks. First-round draft pick Gosder Cherilus inked a five-year contract worth slightly less than $15 million, but $8.9 million of that will come in guaranteed dollars. The bonuses will be paid out over the first two...
Gosder Cherilus Signs a Five-Year Deal
With the start of training camp rapidly approaching, the Lions thankfully have signed their first-round pick. Right tackle Gosder Cherilus was signed to a five-year deal earlier today, and since he has a contract, he only ended up missing a team meeting. That means that he will be available to...
Lions Were Unaware of Dizon Arrest
Linebacker Jordon Dizon was arrested six days before the 2008 NFL Draft for a variety of driving charges, including suspicion of drunk driving. Although the arrest happened way back in April, the public never learned about the incident until late last month. The Lions were in the same boat as...
Lions Sign Six Rookies
With training camp officially getting started Thursday, the Lions were beginning to run out of time to sign their rookies. Third-round pick Cliff Avril already signed earlier this month, but he was the only Lions rookie to do so; that is, until today. Six other Lions rookies were signed to...
Caleb Campbell Scouting Report
The Lions' final pick of the 2008 NFL Draft generated the most publicity of any selection on day two. Why? Well, Detroit drafted Army safety/linebacker Caleb Campbell. The fact that he went to Army is why he has received so much attention from the media as a new policy will allow him to play in...
Landon Cohen Scouting Report
The Lions' second to last pick of the 2008 NFL Draft came in the seventh-round when Detroit selected Ohio defensive tackle Landon Cohen. After already picking up Andre Fluellen in the third-round, the Lions decided to add more depth to the d-line by picking Cohen. There isn't very much...
Jerome Felton Scouting Report
With their second pick of the fifth-round, the Detroit Lions selected Furman fullback Jerome Felton. This pick was another head-scratcher at first glance, but after learning more about Felton, I am warming up to this selection. Felton brings intelligence, a good work ethic, and a hard-nosed...
