Okay now that that's out of the way... In all seriousness, if you look up "ineptness" in the dictionary, it's likely you will find a blurb about the Detroit Lions historically bad season a year ago.

Safety Gerald Alexander arrived in Jacksonville on Monday morning to take his physical and told Jaguars.com he was surprised the Detroit Lions had traded him for wide receiver Dennis Northcutt.

As crazy as it sounds, the Detroit Lions weren't quite as bad as their record indicated last year.

Maybe the Detroit Lions have finally figured it out. So far this off season, the Lions have made some strikingly sane moves.

Out of all the problems the 0-16 Lions had last year, the No. 1 reason they lost so many games was the total lack of anything resembling a run defense.

Owners of the league's worst defense two years running, the Lions suddenly don't look too bad on that side of the ball.

Let's be honest. There will be no good memories from the Detroit Lions 2008 season.

After a weekend with the rookies, Head Coach Jim Schwartz held the teama s fourth organized team activity of the offseason with the veterans.

As the Saints continue their offseason workout program and get poised for upcoming rookie and veteran minicamps in May and June, The Times-Picayune takes a glimpse at how their 2009 opponents have fared so far in Free Agency and the draft.

Two days ago, Travis LaBoy 's contract with the Cardinals counted $4.65 million against the salary cap in 2009.

Stafford has all the physical tools to develop into an elite quarterback, but what sold him most to Lions head coach Jim Schwartz was what is between his ears.

It's draft day eve, and this is my final mock. A lot of picks have been evaluated, re-evaluated, mulled over, over-analyzed, and then some.

The Detroit Lions have spent a lot of resources on acquiring defensive linemen over the past several years through the draft or free agency.

USC quarterback Mark Sanchez, who played only 16 games his entire collegiate career, decided to forgo his last year of eligibility at USC to enter the NFL Draft... by Lars Hanson 8 reads USC quarterback Mark Sanchez, who played only 16 games his entire collegiate career, decided to forgo his last year of eligibility at USC to enter the NFL Draft.

They tried and failed to acquire Jay Cutler , but he's not the only option. It seems like the Browns are willing to part with Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson , and that the Redskins are willing to part with Jason Campbell .

We're now in the second month of free agency, the big-budget items are gone and the prominent names left unsigned are the veterans who were written out of their previous teams plans.

Thanks to Brian McIntyre of Mac's Football Blog for passing along a link to his item on Cory Redding 's restructured contract.
