Everyone knew the Matthew Stafford question was going to eventually come for new Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes. After all, it’s the team’s most pressing situation.

Yet, we all knew Holmes was not going to give a definitive answer as he met with Detroit media virtually on Tuesday afternoon.
