Proposed Trade Sends Lions QB, Multiple Draft Picks to Cleveland for Myles Garrett
As the Detroit Lions prepare for the 2025 season, general manager Brad Holmes faces a crucial decision regarding the team’s future. While the Lions have focused on building through the draft, a recent hypothetical trade proposal could take a bold step in acquiring Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett, one of the league’s top pass rushers.
The proposed trade would send the Browns a 2025 first-round pick (No. 28), a 2025 third-round pick, a 2026 first-round pick, and quarterback Hendon Hooker. In return, the Lions would receive Garrett and a 2026 fourth-round pick. This deal would significantly alter the Lions’ usual strategy, as Holmes typically values developing homegrown talent. However, adding a player of Garrett’s caliber could instantly bolster the Lions’ defense and shift their trajectory toward an elite level.
This bold move comes as Detroit evaluates ways to build a championship-contending team, and Garrett’s addition would solidify their defensive front. Whether Holmes pursues this deal or remains committed to draft development will be one of the most closely watched decisions of the offseason.
