Since taking over as general manager for the Detroit Lions, Brad Holmes’ interest in wide receivers has been both rumored and real. He traded up 20 spots to select Jameson Williams in the 2022 NFL Draft, but that was roughly a year after he had been rumored to be interested in moving up for Ja’Marr Chase on Day 1 of the 2021 draft. But even after picking Williams in 2022, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the next day on April 29 that the Lions had “an offer on the table” for star receiver Deebo Samuel, but the San Francisco 49ers wouldn’t entertain the proposal.
