Detroit Lions Mentioned as Potential Trade Suitor for $45 Million Linebacker.
At this point in the season, the Detroit Lions could use some help on the defensive end, especially after Marcus Davenport got sidelined with an injury. According to Bleacher Report’s NFL analysis, the logical move to make is to acquire Haason Reddick from the New York Jets.
The Lions find themselves in a challenging position as they navigate a tough stretch in their schedule. After a promising start to the season, Detroit is now facing a series of demanding matchups that will test their resilience and depth. Despite their recent success, concerns are rising about their ability to maintain momentum against formidable opponents.

Currently, the Lions are ranked favorably in the league, but their upcoming games could significantly impact their standing. With high-stakes contests against key rivals, every game will be crucial for both playoff aspirations and team confidence. The coaching staff has been emphasizing the importance of preparation and focus as they approach this rigorous slate of games.
Key players, including their standout quarterback, will need to deliver consistent performances to help the team overcome these obstacles. The Lions have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their offensive capabilities, but they must also ensure their defense holds up against high-scoring teams.

At this point in the season, the Lions could use a boost to their roster. According to an analysis by Bleacher Report, the solution could be acquiring Reddick from the Jets.
Add Now: Trade for EDGE Haason Reddick, New York Jets.
This is a repeat from last week since Reddick still hasn’t shown up in New York and Detroit still needs some help on the edge opposite of Aidan Hutchinson. In B/R’s NFL Trade Block Big Board column, Kristopher Knox listed the pass-rusher as the No. 1 overall player and dove into why he’d be a good addition to the Lions.
“Reddick would also be a logical trade target for the Lions, who recently lost edge-rusher Marcus Davenport to a biceps injury,” Knox wrote.
“Adding Reddick would give Detroit a high-end complement opposite Aidan Hutchinson and would help shore up a defense that showed some vulnerability against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4.”
With Davenport sidelined for the season, the Lions are exploring options for an edge rusher before the trade deadline. Former NFL general manager Jeff Diamond has suggested that the Lions could pursue Reddick, who is currently with the Jets but has been absent due to contract issues.
