Locked On Lions - Daily Podcast On The Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions face an offseason of big decisions—will Brad Holmes opt for splashy moves or stay the course with the core roster? Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson headline the fantasy-versus-reality debate, while positions like center and left tackle emerge as critical targets. Matt Dery examines the feasibility of blockbuster trade scenarios, high-priced free agents like Tyler Linderbaum and Jaelen Phillips, and under-the-radar options such as Braden Smith and Connor McGovern.
 
Roster continuity hangs in the balance as questions swirl about Taylor Decker, Graham Glasgow, and potential trades for Cesar Ruiz. Dery also breaks down the Lions’ defensive priorities, potential coaching staff moves, and what the latest scheduling insights mean for Detroit’s chances in a challenging NFC North. With fan Emily weighing in on Call of the Day and calls for a refreshed lineup, can the Lions take the next step or will familiar faces stay front and center? #firstlisten
