- Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand said on Wednesday that the team has not yet decided if it is going to wear its third jersey this year. Lewand did say that the Lions' third jersey is still the throwback look, so they aren't about to introduce new alternate uniforms or anything like that.
- Also according to Lewand, the Lions aren't about to introduce cheerleaders, and it doesn't sound like they have any plans to change their stance on not having them.
- Lewand did not end up meeting with Ndamukong Suh's agent at the NFL owners meetings this week.
Lewand and Suh's agent have already been in contact, so this doesn't seem like a very big deal.Lewand said he called Sexton to cancel meeting this week because the NFL meetings is not conducive to their business.

Most fit NFL team: Detroit Lions. HC Jim Caldwell, GM Martin Mayhew, Tom Lewand all in hotel fitness center at 5:40 am.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 25, 2014Jim Caldwell spent the first 6:35 of his sitdown with Detroit writers talking about how terrible he is at golf. Truly hilarious stuff.

- Why didn't the Lions re-sign Willie Young? They weren't willing to match the offer that he got from the Chicago Bears.
- Speaking of the Bears, they just signed defensive end Jared Allen to a four-year deal worth $32 million. So much for him leaving the NFC North.
