The Detroit Lions have had a low-key start to the offseason, opting against major moves in free agency and the trade market. That decision has left some fans feeling frustrated.

After securing a second consecutive NFC North title, the Lions collapsed in the playoffs, leading many to question if they need to be more aggressive to achieve their Super Bowl aspirations.

While that hasn’t happened yet, the players remain optimistic about the team’s direction.

Cornerback Terrion Arnold, who joined the team during last year’s draft, took to social media to remind fans that there’s still plenty of time for Brad Holmes to make impactful moves to strengthen the roster.

Holmes has transformed Detroit from an afterthought into a contender in just three years, sticking to his philosophy.

Instead of handing out massive contracts, the Lions have prioritized building through the draft. Unless they make a splash addition, the 2025 draft could once again be where Detroit finds its biggest impact players. In that sense, Arnold’s point holds weight.

Following an inconsistent rookie season, Arnold is expected to take a big step forward in his second year. To do so, he will need to grind through the offseason and continually refine his skills.

So far, he is off to a great start in that regard. Recently, Arnold showcased some of his offseason training, proving his commitment to returning stronger after the team’s tough playoff exit.

Despite finishing 2024 with 60 tackles and no interceptions, expectations remain high for Arnold. Newcomer D.J. Reed praised his teammate’s potential after signing with Detroit, predicting a bright future for him.

“He’s still young. It was his rookie year. I thought Terrion (Arnold) played well. Obviously, he was handsy, which is something you can fix. That’s totally correctable.

As far as talent and being sticky, there’s a reason he was a first-round pick. I think he’ll be very good. He has Pro Bowl, All-Pro potential.”

Beyond his talent, Arnold has also emerged as a mature leader. Right now, he is urging fans to trust their proven general manager and his successful approach.
