Official 2025-2026 Detroit Lions Thread.

Can’t believe they ain’t even put my young dog Lynn on atleast the practice squad. Been knowing him his whole life. Good solid young cat. All his teammates he hang with thought he made the team. And for nobody in the league to give him a practice squad slot is crazy. Told him he gotta get a new agent.

Same reason they didn’t value James Houston. Lions dont like edge players that can’t hold up in run game.

Davenport can’t even hold up crossing the street without turning an ankle. And they got fukkin 30 year old nobodies like Kennedy and skipper on the practice squad.

What the fukk you angry for?

It’s the practice squad

They don't like one trick pony pass rushers. Been that way Campbell/holmes whole tenure. If you cant set the edge you not playing end on this team

I don’t get why Holmes is being so weird about this. The player wants to come back and the team needs him should be a done deal and they wanna be hard asses about it.

I think it's simple to fans because we really aren't involved in the negotiating so we have no idea what said player is asking for vs what the team is willing to concede. For us it's just - team has need+player fills need and wants to play for team=sign player. Fans don't factor in the other shyt. I'd rather have him than not, but the multiple other factors on why it hasn't happened yet don't elude me. Can't write it off as simply being weird or hard asses.

Sadly, Holmes doesn't take big swings on established NFL players but this would make ignoring the edge worth it.

Lions gonna have to pay Hutch even more than Parson just got. No way they could’ve have possibly traded for a Parsons and afford both. And they still have to resign Laporta, Branch, Jamo, Gibbs, Campbell soon

Holmes starting to piss me off

Holmes fukked up doubly waiting to sign Hutch for so long that we’re here at the moment and never making a significant move during this window

And the team is basically already over the cap for 2026.

Good GMs in the NFL know how to move money around to create cap space. It happens every year.

But hey, at least Holmes is building this team through the draft to "compete" for a decade instead of going all-in for a Super Bowl.

And if we signed him early you'd be complaining that we didn't wait and see how he recovered from the injury lol. From Hutch's perspective it made the most sense not to sign until everyone (Garrett, Watt, Parsons, etc) got paid. I know I assumed Jerry was gonna cave at the last minute and give Parsons 45mil per year. Instead he got 47min from the Packers lol.

I guess on the plus side without Kenny Clark...Gibbs and Monty gonna hit 200 yards on these dudes next weekend lol.

Get Smith's agent on the phone right now and get the damn contract signed. I've had it with this shyt. Green Bay out here making moves the Lions should be making and Holmes and Campbell twiddling their thumbs with no sense of urgency.
