Detroit Lions news: Colin Cowherd on Dan Campbell, cornerback draft talk, international game?, Cameron Sutton

The NFL is convening for league meetings for the next few days. A rule change request made by the Detroit Lions, awarding a third challenge to teams if they are successful on one of the first two challenges (not both, as before), was accepted by a vote on Monday.

Otherwise, the league calendar is in that middle ground between the teeth of free agency and the draft in April right now. There are some significant free agents still available, and the Lions could have a decent opportunity to address a fresh level of need at cornerback after the terrible event with Cameron Sutton. Time will tell if something happens there or with anything further of note in free agency.

ESPN came out with their post-free agency 2024 power rankings on Monday morning. The two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs are obviously No. 1, but the Lions came in at No. 2. “Under-the-radar move: Keeping OC Ben Johnson and DC Aaron Glenn”

“After last season finished one game shy of reaching the Super Bowl, many people in Detroit felt it was a foregone conclusion that at least one of the team’s coordinators would leave for a head coaching post.

Both coordinators will return, however, and the Lions will maintain a strong foundation with the same methods in place.”-Eric Woodyard

Other sites are out with post-free agency power rankings as well, and here’s where the Lions come in on those (h/t to John Maakaron of SI.com for the compilation).
