@SpeakEZsports_ @ProbablyBored13 None are starters, all are backups. Check out the guaranteed money for this year
English
@MAdoubleT13 @ProbablyBored13 No, Braxton Jones is the only one. And it’s “up-to” $5M
English
Can someone explain to me why a team who SIGNS needs, and drafts BPA would sign a $5M “swing tackle” while the franchise has financial restraints? Lol

Brad Holmes breaks down WHY the Detroit Lions are doing one-year deals in free agency: “We know what kind of FINANCIAL RESTRAINTS we were in… for what we’re trying to do with these EXTENSIONS that we have upcoming” Some BIG EXTENSIONS coming up? 👀 #OnePride
English
@Powers1192 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy You know why they didn’t make the SB, because they were missing LG,C, TE1,2,3 S1,2, CB1,2, LT. If the roster can stay healthy they would be in a championship game possibly headed to a SB. That has been the issues for 2 years, not FAs
English
@MAdoubleT13 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy He’s signing depth as if this team just missed out on the SB. This team didn’t even make the playoffs last season. This team is filled with holes but Brad is too stubborn and arrogant to see it
English
From our convo with Brad Holmes ⬇️
Lions GM Brad Holmes says he’s in “total lockstep” with Dan Campbell on roster talks nytimes.com/athletic/71439…
English
@Powers1192 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy Put yourself in the FA safeties shoes. Are you going to a team that has 2 top end safeties or are you going to another team where you know 100% you will be the starter? Imagine signing a 3 year deal for a safety to watch Branch leave and play better then the safety you signed
English
@MAdoubleT13 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy You have no guarantee Branch will be the same player when he comes back. He won’t be back until probably Thanksgiving or maybe longer.. You know Kerby’s knees are shot. So yeah, signing an above average safety would have helped
English
@SpeakEZsports_ @ProbablyBored13 Trent brown, Trey pipkins, Vederian Lowe and Broderick jones all backups with 5 million or morez
English
@ProbablyBored13 So you should use it and inform yourself then man haha. There’s one other tackle making $5M and he’s fighting for a starting spot and it’s not fully gtd. Lmao.
English
@Powers1192 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy That’s usually how depth works. Don’t have pro bowlers waiting to go in the field. Also you think starting safeties would give up a chance to be a full time starter to come to Detroit and know when branch is healthy, he’s taking their spot?
English
@MAdoubleT13 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy To answer your question of what moves he hasn’t made: we have no depth at safety or DL. All of his signings are guys that if you see them on the field, then that means we’re screwed.
English
@Powers1192 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy Yeah right, he goes all in (which last 2 years couldn’t do because of injuries) gives up the future to not make a SB and lions go back to losing because they lost their talent, these people would want him fired. 9-8 record they already want him fired
English
@MAdoubleT13 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy If it gets to a SB, yeah I do. To hell with the future, it’s about the here and now. You worry about the money later. If it fails, it sucks but at least you tried to go all in. Fans would respect that a lot more than what Holmes is doing now.
English
@YourDudeOnyx @That1LionsFan These fans don’t care about production, it’s about the name
English
@MAdoubleT13 @That1LionsFan Philips isn’t even half the player Hutchinson is.
English
please tell me how this is okay?!!?
in the last 15 years has a team ever won a Super bowl just falling in love with their own guys?
the answer is no
DLFP@DLFPtweets
Jahmyr Gibbs & Jack Campbell are both poised to reset the RB and LB markets. I expect both to hit $20M+ per year. Sam LaPorta & Brian Branch will get paid too once they return to form, and I believe they will. That’s why Brad didn't go crazy in FA. He wants to draft, develop homegrown talent & pay those guys. That’s exactly what he meant by “financial constraints”, he said it today, noting the Lions knew the limits entering free agency and avoided multi-year deals to save cap space for upcoming extensions.
English
@LionsSyndicate A man who is smarter at building a team then local podcasters
English
We know exactly who Brad Holmes, is all this interview did was confirm that!
English
@YourDudeOnyx @That1LionsFan Yeah, how else can you make a big splash in FA. Why should we sign hutch for $35 million when we could have gotten Philips for $30? Just think how we could beat on our chest like the raiders last year that we signed the top defensive player
English
@That1LionsFan Drafting all pros that you get to extend for cheaper than market is a bad thing?
English
@Powers1192 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy What moves has he not made? He has filled most the depth while keeping money to be able to keep out high end talent. Wanna spend $30 million on Philips who is injury prone? $25 million on a center?
English
@MAdoubleT13 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy We as fans don’t have a choice. We have to hope our GM cares about winning a SB and will do whatever it takes to do it. But after this offseason, I’m not so sure he wants that. He’s making moves that’ll make this team good, but not great. Fans deserve 100% effort from their GM
English
@DetroitPodcast Get the high priced edge or build the Oline. Rather have the oline. Look at the packers, got parsons and then lost their guard, center, tackle, other edge and LB.

@LionsSyndicate Brad knows you are on his ass, I would not want to be in his position with a guy like you obsessing over me
English
“I’d like too, but he’s out there right now, an I’ve gotta go to work”- when the whole interview releases, I’ll dissect it to shreds
English
@mgarza06 @RealTJS2 @LionsSyndicate Yeah because signing a Gm who has won multiple GM of the year awards are so easy to come by
English
@RealTJS2 @LionsSyndicate I would hope so, but the decades of losing probably have them trigger shy
English
Did they ask Holmes about how he feels about his job security?
English
@Powers1192 @legendjc13 @colton_pouncy I mean Holmes has always said the truth, he has brought in the type of players that fit Campbells system. Who should we trust, a no name source form a guy who says he wants root for radio or the GM
English
@legendjc13 @colton_pouncy I was referring to Holmes. Of course he’s going to say they’re in lockstep. He’s not going to badmouth his HC
English
@CHEN313 @colton_pouncy By not restructuring st brown and Sewell, it gives them more money they can free up next year
English
@colton_pouncy Would have loved to hear if restructured by other players would have given more cache to use and lessened the constraints
English
@NatSparbeck @BrokeLionsFan No but we brought in our starting C and filled depth in spots you were complaining about. You can just say you don’t understand how to build a team of 53 with limited money
English
@BrokeLionsFan I’m sorry did I miss that we signed Linderbaum?
English
I… I just… I mean…what… oyyy vey.

Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes answers the burning question with Lions Fans THE EDGE RUSHERS IN FREE AGENCY 👀 “Once we made that (financial) decision for the OFFENSIVE LINE… it kind of took us OUT of some of those other options at EDGE RUSHER” #OnePride
English
@ZaPaMi3 @NatSparbeck Your ball knowledge is cooked, and you should have stayed silent
English
@NatSparbeck We are cooked. Straight up. He should have stayed a scout.
English
@MarcAPerna @cory57426535001 @Justin_Rogers @nickbaumgardner Eagles 2020 draft produced 1 starter/ good player. There are teams that don’t produce staters in their draft class. Holmes took a few big swings, mainly because the roster was filled out and he was shooting for upside.
English
@MAdoubleT13 @cory57426535001 @Justin_Rogers @nickbaumgardner Also, all drafts better produce multiple starters, especially if you’re combining the last two. That’s a given.
