Jared Goff would like the media that covers the Detroit Lions to realize that this is the start of a new era for the franchise, and they can stop focusing on the failures of the past.

"I have this like, I probably need to drop it pretty soon here because I'm hopefully gonna be in Detroit for a long time, but I have this thing with our local media where like they almost like relish in negativity at times," Goff said on Willbo's "Trading Cards" podcast hosted by Robbie McInerny, his former teammate at Cal, and Will McInerny. "And maybe that's what gets clicks and that's what sells, but it's no longer what they need to live in.

"Like, hey guys, we have a good team. We've had success. We can be happy about that, we can celebrate that and not have to write about how we're constantly the underdog. No, teams are gonna be gunning for us now. We won the division and all that. I'm probably overthinking it in my head and it's the chip on my shoulder and the competitor in me."

The Lions won the NFC North last season, their first division title since 1993, and then went on to win their first two playoff games since the 1991 season.

The Detroit Lions have matched the San Francisco 49ers' offer sheet to tight end Brock Wright.

According to sources, Wright signed a three-year, $12 million offer sheet that included $6 million guaranteed.

Wright was a restricted free agent, and the Lions tendered him a one-year, $2.985 million contract, giving them the right of first refusal if he received an offer sheet.

Veteran NFL cornerback Cameron Sutton, wanted for weeks by police in Florida for his alleged involvement in a domestic violence case, turned himself in Sunday.

Police had been unable to locate Sutton since March 7, when an arrest warrant was issued for him. They had responded to a call early that morning at a house in Lutz, Florida, where Sutton allegedly battered a woman before fleeing the scene.

"After weeks of evading law enforcement, this man has finally made the right choice to turn himself in," Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. "Domestic violence has no place in our community, and no one is above the law here in Hillsborough County."

Sutton is facing a charge of domestic battery by strangulation, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

Sutton, 29, joined the Detroit Lions as an unrestricted free agent in 2023 on a three-year, $33 million contract after spending his first six NFL seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Lions released him March 21, the day after the team found out about the warrant for his arrest.

Josh Reynolds has agreed to a two-year deal with the Denver Broncos worth up to $14 million. 

Reynolds caught 40 balls for 608 yards and five touchdowns last season with the Detroit Lions. 

Pro Bowl guard Kevin Zeitler plans to sign a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions, according to a source.

The former Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman flew to Detroit on Monday night to take a physical.

Zeitler, who fought through knee and quad injuries toward the end of last season, finished with a 93.8% pass block win rate (10th among guards), allowing 6 sacks. He had a 61.8% run block win rate (25th among guards).

The Detroit Lions have signed contract extensions with head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes. The deals will keep them under contract through the 2027 season. 

"We are thrilled to have Brad and Dan under contract for the next four seasons," said Lions owner Sheila Hamp said in a statement. "They have been the driving force behind the rebuild of our football team and the success that we have enjoyed. The continuity they provide for our football program will continue to be the key to our future success on the field."

The Lions reached the NFC Conference Championship last season.

The Detroit Lions released veteran safety Tracy Walker III, the team posted on social media Tuesday night.

Walker posted an apparent goodbye to Detroit on Instagram earlier on Tuesday.

"Detroit I want to thank you for welcoming me in as rookie and accepting me as family," he wrote, thanking the Ford family for the past six seasons with the franchise.

The Washington Commanders have hired former Detroit Lions senior director of player personnel Lance Newmark as assistant general manager.

Newmark will report to new general manager Adam Peters.

He spent the last 26 years with the Lions in the player personnel department.

Ben Johnson has decided to remain as offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions.

Johnson was a candidate for several head coaching openings, including the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commenders.

Johnson reportedly was seeking an incredibly lucrative contract to become a head coach, which possibly cooled his market.

An emotional Dan Campbell strolled out of Levi's Stadium on Sunday evening with his arm wrapped around veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater after his team fell to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game 34-31.

Despite the loss, the third-year Detroit Lions head coach continued to hold his head high and said he had no regrets about two critical failed attempts on fourth down in the second half.

"It's easy hindsight, I get it. I get that, but I don't regret those decisions and it's hard," Campbell said. "It's hard because we didn't come through and wasn't able to work out, but I don't and I understand the scrutiny I'll get, that's part of the gig, but it just didn't work out."
