Good news: The CEO Rod Wood  Of  Detroit Lions makes a great announcement today

The Detroit Lions are just over a week away from kicking off the 2024 regular season. There are high expectations facing the team in the upcoming campaign, and general manager Brad Holmes isn’t shying away from them.

Holmes and assistant general manager Ray Agnew spoke to the media for a lengthy session on Thursday, outlining their thoughts on a number of important avenues facing the Lions in 2024. Since Holmes and Dan Campbell took over in 2021, the franchise’s trajectory has been on a consistent upswing.

The fourth-year general manager has built a strong roster that many believe is among the best in the league, and as a result pundits have tabbed the Lions as a popular Super Bowl pick. Holmes eliminated any uncertainty Thursday by plainly stating that his expectations are to, in fact, win the Super Bowl.

This level of candor regarding high expectations is somewhat foreign to the organization, as the expectations for this year’s team are as high as ever for the organization. However, the Lions have steadily risen over the last two campaigns and are in position to contend as a result.
