The Detroit Lions’ defense held them back from making a Super Bowl run during the 2025 NFL playoffs, and their surprising loss to the Washington Commanders in the NFC Divisional Round is something that will linger until next season. However, the offseason offers an opportunity to address these issues, with a potential chance to land a game-changing defensive player alongside Aidan Hutchinson. Myles Garrett, the Cleveland Browns’ standout defensive end, recently made trade requests, and Albert Breer has mentioned that Detroit is a top contender for his services.
During an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show, Breer stated, “I think Detroit is a prime destination for Garrett. They don’t necessarily need their first-round pick this year and could use it to make a trade. Given their current situation, with their roster mostly set, they could afford to flip picks and make a move for an established star. The idea of Garrett joining Hutchinson on the defensive line is fascinating. The Lions are in a strong position to compete, but after the loss to Washington and the departure of several key coaches, it’s natural to wonder if their championship window is closing. Acquiring someone like Garrett could be the quickest way to turn things around and maintain their momentum.”
Myles Garrett’s trade request has sparked speculation around the NFL about where the All-Pro defensive end will play in 2025.
