ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions will hire Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator.

Does Lions offensive coordinator candidate Mike McDaniel hold the current NFL jobs "domino effect" in his hands?

Former Lions offensive coordinator John Morton has joined one of the AFC's top teams as a consultant for the postseason.

"The Lions will cut left tackle Taylor Decker if he does not retire. He will be 33 years old next season and has had issues with shoulder injuries. In 2025, he fell to 45th out of 69 ranked tackles in pass block win rate, and he ranked 61st in run block win rate."

The Detroit Lions will enter the 2026 NFL Draft with a clear identity and an equally clear list of priorities. Rather than chasing splashy skill-position players or forcing need-based reaches, Detroit is in prime position to prioritize building up the trenches, along with its depth and long-term sustainability at multiple positions.

The Detroit Lions will start their pre-draft process very soon when the Senior Bowl begins its practices. While fans may enjoy watching the game, make no mistake, scouts are on the ground for this thing to watch the practices,

Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is widely expected to be the first pick in April's NFL draft, and the Detroit Lions probably don't have any shot at landing the draft's best offensive tackle, Miami's Francis Mauigoa, with their first-round pick, No. 17 overall, either.

If the Dolphins were to hire Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard as its next head coach, Detroit would receive 2026 NFL draft compensation.
