The Detroit Lions are 1-6 and have the worst record in the NFL, but general manager Brad Holmes insisted Wednesday he still would have traded tight end T.J. Hockenson to the Minnesota Vikings for the swap of draft picks he received had the Lions been 6-1 and leading their division.
“This move was not reflective of our record," Holmes said Wednesday. "If our record was reversed and it made sense for us, then we would have still done it. So it wasn’t anything of that nature, but it made sense for us and we just move forward.
