On Tuesday during the NFL’s owners meetings in Florida, Detroit Lions' general manager Brad Holmes had his first opportunity to explain his process after the first two weeks of free agency. The Lions have been relatively quiet in adding external players, choosing, instead, to focus their efforts on bringing back most of their players who were set to become free agents this year.
The reaction to that strategy has certainly been mixed. While some have applauded Holmes and the Lions for remaining disciplined and not overspending in the free agency market, others have expressed frustration about maintaining a roster that finished as the second-worst team in football.
