Albert Breer’s Mailbag: Why the Lions’ Offense Is Poised for a Revival

Key Points:

• The Detroit Lions' offense shows promise with new additions Blake Miller and Cade Mays on the offensive line and the hiring of Drew Petzing as offensive play-caller, potentially returning the line to elite form by the end of 2026.
• Spencer Fano's shorter arm length compared to Will Campbell has not sparked media frenzy because teams project both players to move to guard positions, where arm length is less critical, and their athleticism and technique compensate for any deficiency.
• Devon Witherspoon's contract extension with the Seahawks is expected between now and training camp, amid rising non-quarterback salaries in the NFL; his agent's shared representation with Christian Gonzalez may influence negotiations.
• Christian Wilkins' future in football is uncertain due to foot injuries, surgery disputes, and questions about his willingness to continue playing, coupled with financial considerations following his release from the Raiders.
• The NFL faces ongoing challenges with gambling-related issues, including managing players like Brendan Sorsby with gambling violations, and there is growing concern about media personalities' relationships with gambling companies targeting young men.
