New Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes to evaluate QB Matthew Stafford, rest of roster

New Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes said he believes quarterback Matthew Stafford is a "great player" who has a lot of the intangible traits he likes to see out of all of his players.

Holmes, though, made no definitive declaration on the future of Stafford, who has two years left on his contract. Owner Sheila Ford Hamp said that would be up to Holmes and their yet-to-be-named head coach.

"What you really appreciate is that the talent was easy to see, but you really appreciate how his intangibles show on film," the 41-year-old Holmes said of Stafford.
