Lions make a big splash: Lions are to trade for a superstar defender for $17 million…
The Detroit Lions are enjoying an outstanding 2024 season, with Dan Campbell’s club going 14-2 and winning 13 of their past 14 games. The Lions will host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football in Week 18. The victor of the NFC North rivalry game on Sunday Night will earn the division title and the conference’s top seed, which includes a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
Despite their injuries, Detroit remains one of the finest teams in football. The Lions are missing many important starters due to injury, including top edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson. The 2022 No.2 overall selection injured his tibia and fibula during Detroit’s Week 6 triumph against the Dallas Cowboys. Hutchinson hopes to return to the Super Bowl if the Lions advance.
“I’m on track for my goal of returning for the Super Bowl,” Hutchinson stated on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football on December 17. “So I keep encouraging all the lads when I see them at the (Lions) facility, ‘You just have to get there. And I guarantee I’ll be back.”
Despite Hutchinson’s absence, the Lions’ pass rush has been effective, with the mid-season acquisition of Za’Darius Smith providing significant support. Still, general manager Brad Holmes might attempt to recruit another edge rusher this offseason.
The Wright Way Network’s Dylan Sports Talk says that if Holmes decides to enhance the pass rush this summer, the Lions will make a blockbuster trade for Cowboys great Micah Parsons.
Parsons is unlikely to be traded this offseason, and if he is, it will not be with the Lions. Detroit still needs to work out an agreement with Hutchinson, and Parsons is looking for a significant contract. There is no possibility Holmes will be able to pay two pass rushers top-market salaries.
Though this deal is financially unattainable, acquiring Parsons would give the Lions one of the strongest pass-rushing tandems in NFL history. The Cowboys superstar has 13 or more sacks in each of his first three seasons, including 9.5 in 2024. When combined with Hutchinson, who was a Pro Bowler in 2023 and was playing at a Defensive Player of the Year level before to his injury this season, opposition quarterbacks would be scared to even kick the ball.
Again, this deal is unlikely to materialize, but it would be one of the most thrilling trades in league history, forming an unstoppable pass-rushing combination.
