The Facts:

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Lions and Schwartz have been steadfast in their refusal in not commenting on his contract this offseason. But as DetroitLions.com staffer Tim Twentyman notes, it always seemed like it was just a matter of time before the Lions and Schwartz would come to an agreement on a new deal, though. Schwartz, 46, has transformed an 0-16 organization to a 10-6 playoff team in only three seasons on the job. The Lions have gotten incrementally better in each of Schwartz’ three seasons, playing to a 2-14 record in 2009, 6-10 in 2010 and 10-6 in 2011. The Lions are expected to compete for a NFC North title and playoff spot this season.
