As the NFL calendar inches closer to training camp, the Detroit Lions are just about done putting the final touches on their offseason. With the Hall of Fame Game up first, they’ll be getting an early jump on preseason action — and that means it’s time to take stock of how the offseason went.
Let’s be real: the Lions didn’t have much choice when it came to some of their biggest changes. Losing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to the Bears and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to the Jets were expected — both guys earned head coaching jobs. On top of that, center Frank Ragnow shocked the team with a sudden retirement, creating a major gap on the offensive line.
But outside of those unavoidable hits, how did GM Brad Holmes and the front office respond?
That’s the big question on this week’s Pride of Detroit PODcast. The crew dives into their offseason report card — breaking down the best moves, the head-scratchers, and the most interesting roster decisions that could shape the 2025 season.
They also take a closer look at the NFC North’s running back groups. Jahmyr Gibbs is still the headliner in Detroit, but how does David Montgomery stack up against his divisional rivals? And is there anyone else in the North who can come close to Gibbs’ level of explosiveness?

The Lions are gearing up for what could be a defining season. Now it’s just a matter of seeing whether the moves they made this spring will hold up once the pads go on.
