This signing might create a schism in the locker room

All joking aside, Glenn Holt as actually a pretty decent receiver. He’s got good speed and pretty good hands.
His problem is holding on to the ball when he gets hit on kickoff returns. If someone gets a good hit on him, the ball goes flying.

CincyJungle says:
It’s good to see the status of a player who was an undrafted rookie free agent coming out of college is being watched so closely by the maestro Florio himself and dutifully reported on PFT.

Well, the Maestro is tracking Pat White which is probably where these tidbits of news reside.
BTW, Maestro is perfect for Florio. Much better than the running “Mr.” gag from Curran/Rosenthal which is stupid and played out.

It’s good to see the status of a player who was an undrafted rookie free agent coming out of college is being watched so closely by the maestro Florio himself and dutifully reported on PFT. I wonder if Glenn realizes he has reached this type of celebrity status or if he just feels like a guy trying to make a roster, probably the former, but it would be cool if he realized the latter.
Florio kind of reminds me of the character on Seinfeld who insisted on being called Maestro.
Good job Maestro.

Are there any articles about when the Vikings acquired Holt?
I want to go back and read the comments about how, between Holt and Berrian, the Vikings have the best WR tandem in the NFL since Cris Carter and Randy Moss or Bobby Wade and Robert Ferguson.
I love Viking fans.

I’d rather it had been Usain Bolt than Glenn Holt.

This should put a “Holt” to the Lions progress.

Mike, did I not call this yesterday when the Vikes cut Holt?
That seems to be the progression. A player is cut. They then go to the Lions, then the Raiders, then the CFL or UFL.

How bad can the Lion’s be if they pick up the Viking WR rejects when the Vikings don’t even have a decent one to begin with?
Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Holt was the missing piece to an already stacked Lions team. With all the positive offseason additions, look for this team to make some serious noise this season.
Mark my words, the Lions will win at least 2-4 more games than last season and could quite possibly be the league’s most improved team.
