Sprong Signs With Vancouver For Half as Much
Former Red Wings forward Daniel Sprong was considered the most desirable player still in the free agent market and yet he didn’t benefit much from that status. Sprong signed with the Vancouver Canucks for one year at $975,000 — that’s a salary cut from the $2 million he earned last season with the Red Wings. Based on his 18 goals and 43 points last season, AFP Analytics projected Sprong might get a two-year deal worth $2.5 million this season.

Analyst identifies a core issue with possibility Lions trade for Brandon Aiyuk
An offseason full of trade rumors, no contract extension and whatnot led to San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk formally requesting a trade this past week. The 49ers of course don't have to to a thing, but it may get ugly enough that they are forced to do something. And that something could very well be giving him a new contract.
AFC team could give former Lions sack leader another career lifeline
When the Detroit Lions signed him in 2021, Charles Harris was a first-round draft pick bust with his career on the ropes as he headed to his third team in as many seasons.

Guy Completely Whiffs on Eminem’s Relationship with Detroit

Ennis Rakestraw avoids non-participation lists to start training camp
The Lions rookies reported for training camp duty on Saturday. And while media access to training camp doesn’t begin until the first full practice on Wednesday, the absence of any news from Detroit on Saturday is good news. That’s because teams are required to release if any players are placed on the NFI or PUP lists when they report and get their initial physicals. As of Sunday morning, there are still no indications that any of the rookies will be placed on the lists, which would prevent them from participating in anything on the field. For second-round cornerback Ennis Rakestraw, no news is very good news. Rakestraw had offseason core muscle surgery, also known as sports hernia surgery. The CB from Missouri was limited in reps during OTAs and spring camps. A clean bill of health means Rakestraw will be free to compete for reps and his place in the radically overhauled Lions cornerback room. Update: On Sunday afternoon, the Lions placed fourth-round rookie OL Giovanni Manu on the NFI list. RelatedDetroit Lions UDFA rookies ranked by chances of making the team
