- Martin Mayhew thinks there will be at least one offer for the Lions' second overall pick, allowing the team to trade down. Whether or not that offer is good enough for the Lions to actually move down is left to be seen, but it definitely seems like a trade could happen for the right price.
- One team that hasn't ruled out a possible trade for the second overall pick is the Browns.
- This summer's training camp will likely only be held in Allen Park. In the future it's possible that the Lions could take their training camp on the road, but that would probably be for only a couple weeks at most.
- Jared DeVries, who was released by the Lions last month, would like to re-sign with the team.
- Just like with Pacman Jones, the Lions are going to take their time before making a decision on whether or not to extend an offer to restricted free agent Anthony Hargrove. The date to keep in mind with Hargrove is April 15. That is the last day restricted free agents can sign offer sheets, so if something is going to happen, it has to be by that day.
- Speaking of Pacman Jones, the Lions are "definitely interested" in him, according to Jim Schwartz.
- The Lions were one of fifteen teams that checked out Bowling Green's pro day last week to get a look at wide receiver Freddie Barnes.
- Bill Ford Jr. has a lot of confidence in Martin Mayhew, Tom Lewand, and Jim Schwartz.

- Chester Pitts visited the Lions last week and enjoyed his time in Allen Park, based on what he said on Twitter. Pitts visited the 49ers later in the week and also seemed to enjoy his time in San Francisco. No word yet on if Pitts has been offered a deal, but you would think that if the Lions wanted him that badly, they wouldn't have let him leave for another visit without a contract offer.
