As the Detroit Lions continue to traverse through one of their most eventful offseasons in recent memory, it’s becoming obvious that the team that takes the field next September will look very different than 2020’s version. That could include the conspicuous absence of some high-usage veterans that may not fit their new vision.
The Lions’ new coaching staff, led by head coach Dan Campbell, and their reworked front office, including new general manager Brad Holmes, already made a franchise-altering move by agreeing to trade quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.
