Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes could be looking to add a dynamic piece to the offense this offseason, particularly at the wide receiver position. While Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams have solidified themselves as the top receiving duo for the Lions, the team has struggled to find consistent options behind them. With WR3 Tim Patrick set to hit unrestricted free agency and no clear replacement in sight, Detroit could be primed to make a big move in free agency.
Could Cooper Kupp Be the Missing Piece?
One of the most intriguing predictions this offseason comes from TWSN’s Marissa Myers, who believes the Lions will target veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp if the Los Angeles Rams release him. At 32 years old, Kupp’s production has taken a slight dip due to injuries over the past few seasons, but he still remains one of the most accomplished receivers in the league.
In 2024, Kupp finished with 710 yards and six touchdowns on 67 receptions, playing in just 12 games. While his injury history is concerning, the Lions may see him as the perfect addition to their already potent offense. With a Super Bowl ring and a 2021 Triple Crown (catches/yards/touchdowns) under his belt, Kupp would add a wealth of experience and leadership to the receiving corps, as well as another reliable option for quarterback Jared Goff.
