According to Lindsey Thiry, the Lions are expected to interview Rams director of college scouting Brad Holmes for their general manager vacancy.
Holmes has been in his position with Los Angeles for the past eight seasons. He’s helped oversee drafts for the Rams without the benefit of a first-round pick for the past several years.

He’s also been mentioned as a candidate for the GM vacancy with the Falcons.
