The Detroit Pistons are suddenly the hottest team in the league! They are stringing together wins and finding those gritty, late-game performances we've been waiting for. But what's the biggest difference?

The NFL trade deadline came and went, and your Detroit Lions stood pat. No splashy moves, no depth additions—just silence from the front office.

As a serious contender, should the Lions have been more aggressive? Did GM Brad Holmes make a massive mistake by not shoring up a banged-up offensive line or a struggling secondary?

In this video RJ breaks down the non-moves and what it truly means for the Lions' playoff and Super Bowl aspirations.

Let me know in the comments: Are you happy the Lions stood pat, or are you ready to riot?

Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Jaden Ivey, Ausar Thompson—the talent is there, but the roster still feels incomplete. We've got two great young centers in Duren and Isaiah Stewart, but does their presence completely negate the need for more frontcourt depth or a different kind of big?

On the other hand, the guard rotation has promising pieces, but with questions around shooting consistency and true secondary playmaking, is that where they need to spend their chips?

In this video, I break down the case for the guard and for the big man. Along with giving my final verdict that I think General Manager, Trajan Langdon, needs to target first to get this team to the next level.

The ink is dry on Aidan Hutchinson's record-breaking extension with the Detroit Lions: four years, $180 million, with a non-QB record of $141 million guaranteed!

Host RJ dives into the biggest contract news in the NFL. Hutchinson has been a defensive powerhouse, leading the league in pressures and forcing fumbles, and is a cornerstone of the Lions' resurgence. But at $45 million per year, is this the kind of deal that cripples a cap-sheet or is it a savvy move to lock down a homegrown superstar and Defensive Player of the Year candidate?

RJ gives his final verdict on whether the Lions made a brilliant franchise-defining move or if this contract will be an albatross down the line.
