Lions’ Aidan Hutchinson Issues Reality Check on Myles Garrett Team-Up
Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson has shared his thoughts on the possibility of Myles Garrett joining the team. While Hutchinson acknowledges that playing alongside Garrett would be “deadly” and elevate the Lions’ defensive line, he also notes that it’s “probably unlikely” to happen.
Hutchinson and Garrett have discussed the possibility of teaming up, and Hutchinson has expressed his admiration for Garrett’s skills. “He’s a freak, man,” Hutchinson said of Garrett. “He’s one of the best pass-rushers in the league, and to have him on our team would be deadly.”
However, the Cleveland Browns have stated that they won’t trade Garrett, even if offered two first-round picks. The Browns are reportedly willing to sign Garrett to a new deal that would make him the league’s highest-paid defensive player.
Garrett has requested a trade, citing his desire to win and compete on the biggest stages. However, it seems that the Browns are not willing to let him go. Hutchinson’s comments provide a reality check on the situation, acknowledging that while it would be exciting to play with Garrett, it’s not a likely outcome.
“I think it’s probably unlikely, just because of the situation he’s in and the team he’s on,” Hutchinson said. “But you never know what’s going to happen in the NFL. It’s a crazy league, and things can change quickly.”
Hutchinson’s comments are a dose of reality for Lions fans who may have been hoping for a blockbuster trade. While the idea of Garrett joining the Lions is intriguing, it seems that the Browns are committed to keeping him.
The Lions will likely need to explore other options to improve their defensive line. Hutchinson is already a key player on the team, and the Lions may look to add other pieces around him to strengthen their pass rush.
In any case, Hutchinson is focused on improving his own game and helping the Lions become a more competitive team. “I’m just trying to focus on what I can control, and that’s getting better every day,” he said.
