Receiver depth in draft a big factor in Lions' decision to let Kenny Golladay walk

For weeks, he Detroit Lions debated what to do with Kenny Golladay. In the end, the decision was made to let the former Pro Bowl wide receiver walk in free agency.

General manager Brad Holmes was asked about the decision when the team introduced quarterback Jared Goff last week, but declined to answer. But when it came up again in an interview Monday, Holmes provided some insight on the team's thinking.

"Always stated that (he's a) very, very talented receiver, but we pretty much knew that, as with pretty much every year, in terms of free agency and the draft, that it's relatively deep in both spots," Holmes said.
