Trade Deadline

I can't agree with this. A lack of QB talent in our division means we should be division favorites the next few seasons. And it wouldn't take much to get us all the way to a 2nd seed. A #1 seed is always improbable, you need to be the absolute best in the conference. That would take some injury luck, something we never seem to get.

I don't agree with it either. I was just making the point

Brad needs to go back to the well and pick up Kupp and Donald from the Rams.

I don't think Lions management expected us to be this good this fast. I really think they were building for next season and beyond. Trading a pick or 2 isn't the end of the world but trading a lot of picks or taking on a huge contract shouldn't be done. Sign some free agents after this season for reasonable contracts, draft more talent for depth and take care of the better players already here.

crosby will cost you multiple firsts.  and the raiders still probably wouldnt do it.

[number20]

The Lions will likely be drafting at the low end of round one next year. Not sure how much their first round pick would even be worth. If Holmes doesn't trade it away, premier defensive talent will be slim pickings if they draft in the late 20s

They would get the 20ish best college player. Quality depth. And the way Holmes finds talent, I would definitely hang onto as many picks as possible. Didn't Chicago trade away their future for a DL a few years ago? How did that work out for them?

Whatever happens, trade or no trade...

Big trade or small...

Trust in Holmes.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

The more I think about it, the more I feel they are going to make a move in the secondary and not the defensive front 4 if a trade happens. I think given all the injuries to guys like Ceedy Duce (formally CJ Gardner Johnson), Emmanuel Moseley, and Jerry Jacobs, it is more probably I feel that they trade for someone in the secondary like an Adoree Jackson or Budda Baker type of player.

Either would be a nice upgrades going to require premium draft capital though.

The NFL trade deadline isn't worth this long of a thread.

I'd stay away from any Patriots player.   Like Patriots assistants, it seems like they typically don't thrive elsewhere, do they?    (well, ones not named Brady)

Adam Vinateri was a stud in Indianapolis.

This won't happen.  The Lions have 6.6 million under the cap .

What would Chase Young cost us?

A lot, even if Wash was willing to sell. I've read the starting line is at least a second round pick.

He's spent too much time being injured imo 

[Motor City Sonics]

What would it take for Burns?

The NFL Salary Cap is as mythical as the debt ceiling.    There's always ways around it

I would do it if they would take Minnesota's 3rd rounder (our pick in 2024) and one of our non-Hutch edges back from us... 

[1984Echoes]

Although... Our 2nd rounder in 2024 might end up as being not all that different from the Vikings 3rd round pick...

I gotta say... part of me REALLY wants Maxx Crosby and Hutch together. Two Michigan (the state) products bookending the DL? That would be pretty cool.

But at what price? Multiple first round picks for the next few seasons? I don't see Holmes doing it but....you never know.
