3 Detroit Lions Who Could Be On The Trade Block
As the Detroit Lions look ahead to a crucial offseason, general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell have tough roster decisions to make in order to strengthen the team for a potential Super Bowl run. Here are three players who could be on the trade block, according to Brad Berreman from SideLion Report:
Hendon Hooker – Quarterback
The Lions drafted Hooker in 2023, but with Jared Goff securely holding down the starting QB role, Hooker may not see enough playing time to develop. If the Lions receive a solid trade offer, moving Hooker could be a way to secure valuable draft picks to improve other areas, like defense.
Chance of being traded: 20%
Josh Paschal – Defensive Tackle
While Paschal has shown flashes of promise, his inconsistent performance in 2024 could make him expendable, especially with the Lions looking to bolster their defensive line. Moving him might free up cap space for a more reliable contributor.
Chance of being traded: 25%
Kalif Raymond – Wide Receiver
Raymond has been a dependable depth option for the Lions, but with the growth of their receiving corps and his upcoming free agency in 2025, the Lions could opt to trade him for a draft pick rather than risk losing him. His special teams value could make him an attractive target for other teams.
Chance of being traded: 10%
As the offseason unfolds, these trade possibilities are far from certain. However, the Lions are focused on adding depth and talent where they need it most as they continue to build a team capable of contending for a Super Bowl.
