Summary

Brad Holmes spoke to the media today and it does not appear that the Smith train is stopping in Detroit anytime soon. The GM was asked about having one open roster spot right now, but it does not appear he is filling it with Za'Darius. We discuss that and how the roster moves were decided by Holmes.
