com/WpgDS64jQ7 — Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) March 18, 2026 Holmes spent the past two seasons in Las Vegas, appearing in 29 games with one start. He stepped up late in the 2024 season after the injury to starter Nate Hobbs and put up three pass breakups. That continued last season with Hobbs leaving in free agency.
The former fourth round pick out of UCLA played his first four NFL seasons in New York with the Giants where he had 11 of his 12 career starts and all four career interceptions. With Patrick Graham out and Rob Leonard taking over as defensive coordinator under new head coach Klint Kubiak, there have been a lot of changes. Including a new slot corner in Taron Johnson.
