9/24 DRR 🦁🧵
2024 Detroit Lions Record: 2-1
Next Up: Seattle Seahawks (3-0), 9/30, Monday, 8:15 PM EST (Lions -4.5, O/U 46.5)
Question of the Day: On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest, how concerned are you about recent injuries?
Today's Thoughts🤔: Brad Holmes has one of the NFL's biggest "rainy day funds" with over $30M in effective cap available. With recent injuries, I don't think all of that will roll over to 2025. I don't expect a blockbuster of a move necessarily, but I could see a meaningful move being made during or shortly after the bye week.
