Amon-Ra St. Brown Reacts to Lions Teammate's Unexpected Career Decision
Amon-Ra St. Brown Reacts to Lions Teammate's Unexpected Career Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Lions are gearing up for an exciting 2025 season, where ESPN BET gives them the best odds (+135) to win the NFC North and the fifth-best odds (+900) to win the Super Bowl. Advertisement There's no doubt they have one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, but on Monday, they suffered a major blow, as center Frank Ragnow announced on Instagram he'd be retiring at just 29 years old. The news has since garnered a lot of attention from some of his teammates, including wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who commented, "much deserved," followed by a heart emoji. Ragnow also walks away with two seasons left on a four-year, $54 million extension with the Lions. However, as he earned $79 million throughout his seven years in the NFL, money likely won't be a problem in his future. Advertisement However, there's no doubt that St. Brown and the rest of the Lions' offense will miss Ragnow as in 2024, he earned his fourth Pro Bowl appearance and Second-Team All-Pro honors for the third time. By the end of the year, he'd also earned an 85.3 overall grade (3rd/64 centers), 63.6 pass blocking grade (36th/64 centers) and a 90.8 run blocking grade (3rd/64 centers), per Pro Football Focus.

Advertisement It will now remain to be seen if St. Brown and the rest of Detroit's offense can continue to produce in 2025 despite losing one of their most talented and successful players.

Broncos made 2 roster moves Tuesday (meet their new tight end)
Broncos made 2 roster moves Tuesday (meet their new tight end) Orchard Lake St. Mary's (Class of 2018) alum Caden Prieskorn has signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Detroit @Lions! Here's a throwback to Caden leading OLSM at quarterback in the 2016 Division 3 Football Final.@cpkorn12 — STATE CHAMPS! Michigan (@statechampsmich) April 28, 2025 With the second week of organized team activities kicking off, the Denver Broncos made a pair of roster moves on Tuesday. First, Denver waived tight end Cole Fotheringham with an injury designation, the team announced. Fotheringham, 27, joined the team last month after a successful tryout at rookie minicamp. He'll now head to the waiver wire. Second, the Broncos filled Fotheringham's former spot on the 90-man offseason roster by signing free agent tight end Caden Prieskorn, who went undrafted in April and originally signed with the Detroit Lions. Following a four-day minicamp stint in Detroit last month, Prieskorn will now get an opportunity in Denver. Prieskorn (6-6, 246 pounds) spent four seasons at Memphis and then transferred to Ole Miss, where he played from 2023-2024. He totaled 57 receptions for 850 yards and seven touchdowns in 23 games with the Rebels. He will join a Broncos tight end room that includes Evan Engram, Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins, Lucas Krull and fellow rookie Caleb Lohner. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Inside Coverage: Has the Detroit Lions' Super Bowl window closed?
(This article was written with the assistance of Castmagic, an AI tool, and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy. Please reach out to us if you notice any mistakes.) Has the Detroit Lions' Super Bowl window closed? Advertisement That's the question debated in the latest edition of the Inside Coverage podcast. The short answer: No, the window has not closed. The more detailed answer: It's definitely in a more precarious position than it was last season. Why? Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab broke it down into three parts: Key departures and changes: The Lions have lost some important pieces, including retiring All-Pro center Frank Ragnow and guard Kevin Zeitler, both their offensive and defensive coordinators, and a number of position coaches. Two out of five members of their elite offensive line from last season are now gone. Advertisement The 'erosion' effect: Fitz and Schwab agree that the Lions are still a Super Bowl contender with a strong roster, but point out that it's these gradual losses — the 'little erosions,' as Frank put it — that can deplete a team. It's not one catastrophic thing, but a bunch of changes that, stacked together, make it harder to reach the top. "You lose your offensive coordinator, you lose your defensive coordinator, everybody's a year older. You're going to have the same injury luck you had. They have a tougher schedule. They have one of the toughest schedules in the NFL this year. Two fifths of your offensive line has gone from last year," Schwab explained. "It's just a little erosions that you know, take you from, hey, we're 15-2, No. 1 seed in the NFC to maybe okay, we're 11-6 and the three seed in the NFC. ... And all of a sudden you look up and you say that's how our super bowl window ended." Tougher landscape: The Lions face one of the toughest schedules in the NFL this season, plus a much-improved NFC North division, with legitimate playoff aspirations from the Bears, Packers and Vikings. Fitz and Schwab debated which team they'd take to win the division, with Fitz saying he'd lean toward the field over the Lions at this point. Advertisement It's not that the Lions are out of the running — they still have a talented roster — but the margin for error is much lower. All the changes and harder circumstances make a repeat on last season far from guaranteed. To hear more NFL discussions, tune into Inside Coverage on Apple, Spotify or YouTube.
