Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has denied a report that stated the team reached out to the San Francisco 49ers in regards to a trade for quarterback Trey Lance.
"The Trey Lance thing in particular, I never reached out. I never inquired about the player or anything," Holmes told reporters Friday.
"I think the report was that us and some other teams were like, in that group of being interested. But I never actively pursued the player. I can't speak to the accuracy of the reports."
The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported Tuesday that the Lions were among the teams to have expressed interest in acquiring Lance.
