BREAKING: Ex-Packers Linebacker Signs With Lions and Vows Revenge on Former Team

Detroit, MI – October 21, 2025

The roar in Detroit has never sounded more defiant. Coming off a gritty 24–9 victory that solidified their reputation as one of the NFL’s toughest teams, the Lions made a move that stunned the division — signing a familiar face from their fiercest rival. And though Detroit heads into a Week 8 bye, the energy inside Allen Park feels anything but restful.

This wasn’t about filling a roster spot. It was about sending a message. Head coach Dan Campbell and GM Brad Holmes wanted a player with fire, leadership, and unfinished business — someone who embodies Detroit’s “grit or die” mentality. And they found him.

That player is Ty Summers. The former Green Bay Packers linebacker — once part of the very franchise that has tormented the Lions for years — has officially signed with Detroit less than a week after his release became public. For Summers, this move is more than a new chapter. It’s a homecoming with a purpose.

Summers spent three seasons in Green Bay after being drafted in 2019, carving out a role on special teams and defense before being cut in 2022. Since then, he’s bounced between teams, waiting for the right opportunity. Now, it’s arrived — in the same division, with a team built on heart and hunger.

“They thought I was replaceable,” Summers once said. “But the fire never left. And now, I get to bring it right back to where it started.”

For the Lions, the signing fits perfectly with Dan Campbell’s philosophy.

“We don’t just build rosters here — we build warriors,” Campbell said after practice. “Ty brings energy, toughness, and that chip-on-your-shoulder mentality we thrive on.”

Detroit’s Week 8 bye gives Summers valuable time to acclimate before returning in Week 9 — when the Lions face, fittingly, the

Green Bay Packers. That matchup now carries extra weight. For Summers, it’s not just another divisional game — it’s personal.

Lions fans have already lit up social media with the tag

#RevengeOfTheForgotten, celebrating both the signing and the poetic timing. What better way to recharge during a bye week than by welcoming a former Packer hungry to take on his old team?

Because in Detroit, it’s never just about football — it’s about pride, redemption, and the fire that fuels those who were once overlooked.

“You can cut a player,” Summers said with quiet conviction,

“but you can’t cut the fire out of him.”

And when the Lions return from their bye, that fire will be burning straight toward Lambeau Field.

Steelers Legend Terry Bradshaw Slams Arthur Smith for ‘No Identity’ Offense

Pittsburgh, PA – September 24, 2025

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense is once again under the microscope, and this time the criticism comes from a familiar face who helped build the franchise’s championship legacy. Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw delivered a blunt and scathing review of what he sees from Pittsburgh’s attack.

“Not only is Aaron Rodgers miscast, the Steelers are wasting wideout DK Metcalf,” Bradshaw said during a FOX Sports segment. “This offense has Rodgers at quarterback and Arthur Smith as coordinator, but it doesn’t look much different than when Matt Canada was running the show.”

Bradshaw zeroed in on the offensive line, calling the protection poor and the overall execution uninspired.

“This team looks lost,” Bradshaw continued. “You don’t see rhythm, you don’t see toughness, you don’t see a plan. And I’ll tell you this — that’s not Steelers football.”

The Steelers invested heavily this offseason, acquiring Rodgers in a blockbuster trade, hiring Smith to reshape the scheme, and landing Metcalf as a true No. 1 target. Yet through three weeks and a 2–1 record, the results have been uneven at best.

The run game has failed to provide balance, Rodgers has looked uncomfortable, and fans are voicing frustration over an attack that feels stale. The hashtag #NotSteelersFootball trended on social media after last Sunday’s game, with one fan writing:

“Rodgers didn’t come here for this.”

“Rodgers is one of the greatest ever, but this system doesn’t fit him,” Bradshaw added. “The Steelers are trying to force something that doesn’t play to his strengths, and what you get is an identity crisis. Right now, it’s flat-out painful to watch.”

Bradshaw closed by reminding Pittsburgh of its heritage. “This city demands toughness, pride, and discipline. If you can’t protect your quarterback, if you can’t impose your will up front, then you’re not playing Steelers football.”

The pointed comments from a four-time Super Bowl champion carry serious weight in Pittsburgh, sparking louder debate about whether major changes are needed to save the Steelers’ season.
