If nothing else, 2021’s offseason will be remembered as a stark transition from one era to the next in Detroit Lions’ history.
In the matter of a couple of months, Detroit traded their franchise quarterback, hired a new general manager, and nearly turned over the entire coaching staff. It felt like a whirlwind because it was, and things haven’t slowed down once Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell were hired; the two have started to put their imprint on this team’s roster through trades like the aforementioned dealing of Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff and draft picks, and the acquisition of his former Los Angeles Rams teammate Michael Brockers.
