Former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson reached out to former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen late in the 2024 season to inquire if the veteran coach would be willing to work with a first time NFL head coach.

Detroit quarterback Jared Goff delivered a near-perfect performance in “passing the test” and helped the NFC take a 14-7 lead over the AFC during the opening night of the Pro Bowl Games.

The Detroit Lions are predicted to address a potential pressing need by signing a projected $40 million defender in free agency this offseason.

Most coaches and players will quote a 'next man up' mentality when asked about injuries, adding that it's a part of the game. However, there also comes a time when an injury-riddled team simply runs out of quality players. It's a scenario we saw play out with the New Orleans Saints offense this season.

Aaron Glenn, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator, is set to have second interviews with the New York Jets and then the New Orleans Saints.

“Just facing the offense, the creativity of the offense, the way that he’s able to utilize all of his assets and get them in the best position to have success, I was always really intrigued with how he was able to do that,” Allen said.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapaport, the Jets and Glenn agreed to a deal for their former first-round pick to lead the Jets. Glenn was being considered by another former team of his, the New Orleans Saints, and Rapaport reported that he thanked the Saints for their interest before accepting the job.

The Detroit Lions have landed on a replacement for offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, picking John Morton to lead the new unit.

Longtime NFL draft analyst Todd McShay, formerly of ESPN and now of The Ringer, said on his podcast Wednesday that while Milroe’s athleticism and arm strength are unquestionable, the lack of accuracy he showed on short to intermediate passes was “concerning.”

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has hired former Stanford sideline boss David Shaw as his new passing game coordinator.

ESPN's Adam Schefter was the first to report the Lions signed Morton as offensive coordinator. The New York Times reported that the Lions signed Morton, citing a league source. NFL.com also reported the hiring, citing sources from NFL Network insiders Ian Rapaport and Tom Pelissero.
