What has been your favorite Lions free agency move so far?

Staying true to his word, it hasn’t been the splashiest of free agency periods so far for Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes. Both Holmes and Dan Campbell have said from the beginning that their goal is to draft, develop, and retain their own players. In fact, if you look around the league at the teams who are consistently good year to year, that is typically the case for them, too.

However, that strategy has its own obstacles to overcome—especially as the young core that Holmes has drafted comes of age. Players like All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell and receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown were among the first of the foundational players to get their extensions, and others such as running back Jahmyr Gibbs and linebacker Jack Campbell are likely up next.

To supplement those bigger contracts being handed out, NFL executives need to find contributions elsewhere from players that are on more cost-controlled contracts. And for the most part, there are two ways to do that—via the NFL Draft, and smart, calculated moves in free agency. Now that we are about two weeks into the 2026 free agency period, we are seeing the vision begin to come together.

There are obviously still issues that need to be addressed, but then again, it is the middle of March. That brings us to today’s question of the day—what has been your favorite move of the Lions’ free agency period thus far?
