Lions chief says Arnold exit was unfortunate, eyes extensions for LaPorta and Branch

Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes called the Terrion Arnold release unfortunate and said the club acted in the best interest after new information emerged; Arnold is with the Seattle Seahawks on the commissioner’s exempt list as his legal case unfolds. Detroit has added Rock Ya-Sin and Roger McCreary, drafted Keith Abney II, and expects Ennis Rakestraw Jr. back, while Starters like D.J. Reed are under contract. Holmes signaled continued interest in extending 2023 picks Sam LaPorta and Brian Branch, following recent extensions for Jahmyr Gibbs and Jack Campbell.
