The Detroit Lions are sitting in prime position — a legit NFC contender, a defense on the rise, and a front office that isn’t afraid to make bold moves. And now, multiple analysts believe it’s time for Brad Holmes to swing big again.
With the trade deadline approaching, experts are calling on Detroit to target the top edge rusher on the market — a player who could terrorize quarterbacks and elevate this defense into true championship territory. Yes, Aidan Hutchinson is a star, but teams are doubling him relentlessly. The Lions need one more pass-rushing nightmare to unlock the full force of their defensive front.
This move wouldn’t just patch a weakness — it would send a message. The Lions aren’t just happy being competitive. They’re chasing a Lombardi trophy, and the rest of the NFC knows it.
With the offense humming and Dan Campbell’s culture fully taking root, the window is wide open. This could be the year where Detroit goes from “fun surprise” to undeniable powerhouse — and adding an elite edge rusher might be the final piece.
If Holmes pulls the trigger?
Offensive coordinators across the league are going to lose sleep.
