The Detroit Lions have signed all of the draft picks with getting Ifeatu Melifonwu under contract. With all the players signed, the Lions are ready for camp. Michael Brockers is taking a mentor role by helping Da’Shawn Hand take his game to the next level. USA Today gives the Lions 3-14 record for the 2021 NFL season, second worst in the NFL. Davante Adams has ended contract talks with the Greenbay Packers, looks to be in a rebuild mode after this season. Touchdown Wire’s pre-training camp power rankings give the Lions a ranking of 30/ 32. MicroMike breaks all the news and rumors for the Detroit Lions.
It seems Aaron Rodgers isn’t the only star player who doesn’t want to be in Green Bay for the long haul. Per a report from Ian Rapoport, All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams has ended any long-term contract extension talks with the Packers. The team has been trying to lock up Adams, who led the NFL with 18 touchdown receptions in 2020, for some time. He is entering the final season of a four-year, $58 million contract with Green Bay.
This comes on the heels of reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers rejecting an offer that would have made the quarterback the highest-paid player in the NFL. Rodgers’ status with the Packers is very much up in the air, and now it appears Adams is looking at ending his time with the Lions’ NFC North rivals in the near future, too.
Michael Brockers is already paying dividends for the Detroit Lions. The veteran defensive lineman, acquired somewhat quietly this offseason from the Los Angeles Rams, has taken fellow Lions lineman Da’Shawn Hand under his wing this summer. Brockers and Hand are working out together in Texas in preparation for Detroit Lions training camp, which kicks off in less than a week. The Detroit duo is working out with defensive line specialist coach Brandon Jordan. Brockers posted a video of the workouts and action to his Instagram feed.
It’s great to see Hand getting in some serious work. Now entering his fourth season in Detroit, Hand ha flashed considerable talent but has struggled to stay on the field through a litany of injuries. He sure looks good here.
