During his media session at the NFL owners meetings, it’s clear Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes wanted to convey a message to fans about their modest free agency period over the last month.
“I don’t know if I was as clear as I could have been at the combine, but I tried to kind of let our fans know that we were not going to be big spenders coming up because of all (the) things we have coming up in the future,” Holmes said in his opening press conference.
Fans and some national analysts insisted that the Lions needed to be big spenders in free agency to get them over the hump to become Super Bowl favorites this year.
