Welcome to The Grey Manes Monday Morning Rundown, a collection of news and notes form the prior week that impact the Lions, the NFL or whatever else catches my eye.

Lions Players, Coaches and Team
Jack Campbell gets rewarded with a massive 4-year $81M extension with $51.5M guaranteed. His APY of $20.25 makes him the second highest paid off the ball LB.
Lions signed veteran WR Cedric Wilson, assigning him #86 and filling one of their remaining four roster spots
The Lions have both David Shaw and Mike Kafka in the revamped NFL Accelerator program to help focus on coaches and executives that are ready for promotion to top jobs in the league.
The Lion's 2026 schedule is set
The Lions announced dates and times for their three pre-season games
Another post-draft war room video shows that the Lions had a deal in place with Baltimore Ravens to move from 17 to 14, giving up 118 and a 2027 3rd. Speculation was that it was for Proctor, but in reality that aligns with Holmes statement that he had deals to move up for miller and once Simpson went to the Rams, he pulled all of them confident Miller would make it to 17.
Who doesn't love Roary? How about an $85 Bobble head of Roary riding a bald eagle like a boss for America's 250th Anniversary
Rumors, Nuggets and Speculation
Nashville was officially awarded SB LXIV in 20230 in their brand-new stadium.
The Minnesota Vikings will host the 2028 NFL Draft
The NFL owners are slowly marching toward a full 16-game international schedule with the approval for up to 10 international games and maybe 11 with NFLPA approval (for more than 10)
Things I think are Noteworthy

The NFC North loses and Icon
We have MORE excessive and weird sports concession including a 128 oz bucket of Barbacoa Beef Nachos at Arizona Diamondbacks games and a soccer ball stuffed with 12 cans of Miller light for $19.75 in time for the World Cup.
