Lions GM Holmes shoots down rumor he inquired about QB Trey Lance

Allen Park — Prior to the Dallas Cowboys trading for former No. 3 pick Trey Lance this week, the Detroit Lions were reported to be among a small group of teams that showed interest in the quarterback. But Lions general manager Brad Holmes went out of his way to shoot down that rumor during a press conference at the team's practice facility on Friday.

"It's always my job to turn over every stone," Holmes said. "There are so many players that are discussed within the league that aren't reported on, interest here or there. The Trey Lance thing, in particular, I never reached out, never inquired about the player or anything.
