The Detroit Lions could be gearing up for another major move to bolster their already fierce defense. According to multiple reports, Detroit has been identified as a top potential landing spot for a $13 million former first-round edge rusher who may soon become available via trade.
While the Lions boast a strong front anchored by Aidan Hutchinson, the team’s pass-rushing depth has shown cracks — especially after recent injuries and inconsistent performances from the supporting cast. Adding a proven veteran edge presence could be exactly what Dan Campbell and defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard need to push their defense over the top for a deep playoff run.
The rumored player brings both pedigree and production, with multiple seasons of double-digit sacks and a contract that signals “win-now” potential. For a Lions team looking to capitalize on its NFC contender status, such a move could transform the pass rush into one of the league’s most feared.
As trade chatter intensifies, fans are watching closely — because if Brad Holmes pulls the trigger, Detroit’s defense could go from good to downright terrifying.
