The are at it again—and just when things seemed to be cooling off, they’ve found a way to heat the rumor mill right back up.
This time, it’s not a blockbuster move (yet), but a message. A short one. A loud one.
“We’re not done yet.”
Yep—just four words from GM , but they’ve got fans, analysts, and probably a few rival teams raising their eyebrows.
Not Done… But What’s Next?
Coming off a strong offseason already, Detroit still has around $23 million in cap space—which basically translates to: they’ve got room to make more noise.
According to reports, Holmes isn’t just sitting back and relaxing. He’s actively:
- Talking with agents
- Exploring trade possibilities
- Keeping options open even beyond the draft
In other words, the Lions are lurking. Quietly. Patiently. But very intentionally.

That deal didn’t materialize. In fact, things got even messier when a potential move involving the fell apart at the last minute.
But here’s the twist: Crosby staying put for now doesn’t mean he’s untouchable.
A Door Still Slightly Open
Insiders suggest the Raiders haven’t completely shut the door on a future trade. Timing is everything in the NFL, and as the season approaches, things can change fast.
From pre-draft buzz to preseason urgency, there’s still a window where a team like Detroit could swoop in—especially if they feel they’re one elite defender away from something special.
Reading Between the Lines
Holmes’ four-word message might sound simple, but it carries weight.
It says:
- The roster isn’t final
- Big swings are still possible
- And Detroit isn’t satisfied just being good—they want more
Whether that “more” includes a name like Crosby or a completely unexpected addition… well, that’s where things get interesting.
One thing’s for sure: the Lions aren’t done stirring the pot.
