The Detroit Lions have spent the last two seasons building a contender the right way—through smart drafting, strong leadership, and a unified locker room. They’ve got the quarterback, the coaching, and a rising young defense. But if there’s one thing standing between Detroit and a Lombardi Trophy, it’s not talent. It’s timing—and one final, strategic move.
That move? Make the call. Whether it’s a high-profile free agent or a trade to bolster depth where needed, the time for bold action is now. The window is open, and opportunities like this don’t come around often. Teams with this kind of roster, momentum, and culture don’t stay on the brink forever. You either push through—or you look back in regret.
It could be a veteran corner. A depth piece at wideout. An insurance policy on the offensive line. Whatever the target, Brad Holmes knows this is the moment. You don’t wait and hope. You act and win.
The Lions are close—closer than they’ve been in decades. One more calculated move could tip the scales in their favor. The question isn’t whether they can do it. It’s whether they will make the call.
