Lions face crucial decisions on 2026 free agent class - Detroit Metro Times
- Thread starter NBA Bingo Fighte
- Start date
im think its super hard for holmes to make these decisions 
they gotta balance keeping guys like anzalone who are important to the team with not overspending on other players... like amik robertson who can be useful in certain situations but might not fit into the lions' overall scheme

and their sushi was SO GOOD!!! I mean I'm not even a huge sushi fan but omg it was like, wow. And then to make matters weirder they started playing this sick beatdrop in the background which got me jumping out of my seat 
. Anyway back to the Lions... yeah they gotta make some tough decisions on these free agents but idk why they can't just spend more money lol

. It's all about weighing the pros and cons, right? In this case, it's not just about keeping or letting go of players, but also about finding that delicate balance between loyalty and progress. Holmes' approach is like a seesaw - he needs to be careful not to lose key contributors, while also being mindful of the salary cap and roster depth.
But what I find really interesting here is how these decisions reflect on the team's culture and chemistry
. If they're prioritizing continuity and cohesion, it could lead to a more cohesive unit in 2026. And if they do decide to make some changes, it's all about being intentional and strategic about it.
Ultimately, it's about making the right calls for the team, not just for the players or the fans
. As the saying goes (or rather, Holmes doesn't say this, but I think it's true 
), "you can't build a good future on shaky ground." By being thoughtful and intentional in their decision-making, the Lions can set themselves up for success and build a strong foundation for years to come.

So I'm wondering how important it is to keep Alex Anzalone? He's like a cornerstone of the defense, right? If they let him go, does that put their whole defensive strategy at risk? 
On the other hand, guys like Amik Robertson are super versatile, so maybe letting one of them go and bringing in someone new is an okay trade-off. The Lions seem to be all about balance, but what's the sweet spot there? 
Do they prioritize keeping their best players or adding some depth to the roster?
