As the Detroit Lions continue to build a championship-level roster, there’s one question that keeps coming up — is the pass rush strong enough to dominate against the NFL’s best quarterbacks? While Aidan Hutchinson has been a force, offenses have found ways to double-team him, and Detroit’s defense hasn’t generated enough consistent pressure.
That’s why experts and insiders keep pointing the Lions toward a bold move: trading for a proven $106 million edge rusher who can instantly transform the defense from good to terrifying. It’s the kind of aggressive upgrade that screams Super Bowl push.
Adding another dominant pass rusher across from Hutchinson would give Detroit nightmares to throw at offensive lines. It would also elevate the entire defense — forcing quicker throws, creating takeaways, and helping the secondary lock down receivers for shorter periods of time. When January football arrives, those little edges decide everything.
Of course, blockbuster trades come with real risks: expensive contracts, high draft picks, and fitting a star into a strong culture. But Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes have never been afraid to swing big if it means taking this team to the next level. And right now, the window to win is wide open.
Lions fans have waited decades for a team built to contend. A move like this would send one message to the entire NFL:
Detroit isn’t just trying to make the playoffs — they’re coming for the Super Bowl.
