Judon’s Miami Sit-Out Sparks Trade Buzz
It’s one of those NFL storylines that makes fans do a double-take. Matthew Judon—a four-time Pro Bowler, 72 career sacks, and a name that once struck fear in quarterbacks—has barely seen the field this season for the Miami Dolphins. Three tackles in three games. Yep, you read that right.
After signing with Miami, Judon was all smiles, calling the organization “welcoming” and saying, “It just worked out.” But behind the smiles, many are left wondering: why isn’t a proven edge rusher getting snaps in a defense that’s been struggling?
Enter Detroit. The Lions, who’ve been playing some solid football but still have their defensive questions, are reportedly keeping tabs on Judon. With Marcus Davenport sidelined on IR and a young edge group still developing, a veteran presence like Judon could be exactly what Motown needs.
It’s not just about adding experience. It’s about impact. Judon has the kind of resume that can change a game: four Pro Bowls, sacks for days, and a career built on making quarterbacks sweat. Detroit reportedly had interest earlier in the offseason, and with the timing now, a deal could be more realistic than ever.
Meanwhile, Dolphins fans are left scratching their heads, wondering if their veteran pass rusher is just a sideline decoration—or if Miami is open to letting him find a new home where he can truly shine.
One thing’s for sure: if Judon does end up in Detroit, it could be a win-win—giving him the field time he deserves and giving the Lions the edge boost they’ve been searching for.
