The Detroit Lions have a major offseason ahead of them. After a disappointing end to the 2024 season, the Lions will need to shore up a few things on both sides of the ball in order to avoid another early playoff exit.

The Lions are the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the first time and host the Washington Commanders Saturday in the divisional round. With a win, the Lions could reach the NFC championship game for a second consecutive year and host the game for the first time in franchise history.

Detroit's shocking 45-31 loss to the Commanders on Saturday left the Lions with major offseason questions to answer about their defense and coaching staff. Why it matters: Detroit is already looking for a new offensive coordinator.

Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has finalized a deal to become the next head coach of the New York Jets.

The New York Jets on Wednesday said it had agreed to terms with Aaron Glenn to become their head coach. Glenn, the exalted Detroit Lions defensive coordinator, is expected to sign his contract with the Jets on Thursday.

Aaron Glenn, a former Jets cornerback, has been named the new head coach of the team, succeeding Robert Saleh.
