Drafting and developing players has proven to be a successful strategy that is well-established.
Despite the addition of talent over the last three years, no player has been rewarded with a large free agent contract that proves to be unaffordable.

Decisions regarding Penei Sewell and Amon-Ra St. Brown’s long-term prospects will also be discussed.

As Aidan Hutchinson is poised to make a big splash later on, the team’s resource allocation decisions will determine the organization’s long-term success.

During his season-ending press conference, Holmes said that the front office will have to make astute, calculated decisions if they end up needing to sign a large number of their own free agents.

Yes, it’s just one pot, as you can see. Because there is only one pot, you have to manage those funds extremely strategically, which is what makes the league so successful, according to Holmes. However, you must divide or divvy up that pot very strategically. However, we’ll be astute and take the appropriate action. However, it only slightly alters the free agency landscape.

The talented general manager of Detroit begged the supporters to have faith in his judgment, even though the team might not make a big splash.

“You have to remember that during our first free agency, we were really strapped for cash. We had to search far and wide for someone like Kalif Raymond or Alex Anzalone and all those guys,” Holmes remarked. “And then, with a little bit more resources, we were able to acquire a C.J. Gardner-Johnson and a Cam Sutton last year. We’ll be savvy even though this year will be a little bit different.
