Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has a long checklist this offseason, but this is the moment he lives for. Even though he, too, was sad to see the team’s season end on Sunday night in Lambeau, he admitted last week that he couldn’t hold in his excitement on the way home.
“On the plane going back, yeah, I was excited,” Holmes said. “I was like, ‘Man, it’s time to get players now.’ And that just gives me juices, man, when that opportunity and those windows come up. It’s exciting to have the capital that we have.
