New Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes believes Matthew Stafford is a "great player" but he will evaluate the team's entire roster this offseason.

Stafford has two years left on his contract.

"What you really appreciate is that the talent was easy to see, but you really appreciate how his intangibles show on film," Holmes said of Stafford. "How urgent he plays, how competitive he is, the toughness that he shows. But it is my job to evaluate the entire roster, and through that process I have not had any discussions with Matt or any players, for that matter.

"So you know, I just want to be fair into the process to make sure we evaluate that thoroughly, but obviously, Matt, very good football player."
