During his press conference at the NFL Combine, Detroit Lions General Manager Brad Holmes seemed to rule out the possibility of the team pursuing a trade for a top-tier edge rusher this offseason. With key contract extensions for several young players on the horizon, it may be challenging for the Lions to free up the necessary funds for such a move, even though their cap situation for this year is relatively solid.
Despite the obstacles and the apparent reluctance to make a big move, a new trade proposal has emerged that could bring a five-time Pro Bowler to Detroit. In a recent article, Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport suggested a potential trade where the Lions could acquire Los Angeles Chargers’ edge rusher Joey Bosa in exchange for their fourth-round draft pick.
