2021 NFL trade deadline: Breaking down 8 Detroit Lions trade proposals

The NFL trade deadline is fast approaching—November 2 at 4 p.m. ET—and as happens this time of year, there are plenty of suggestions on who teams should acquire/trade away.

So far in the month of October, there have been five trades across the league and none of them have drawn much compensation in return for a player, including nothing higher than a fifth-round pick. This is just the nature of the beast this time of year, starters are often traded for sixth-round draft picks.

In this exercise, Jeremy Reisman and Erik Schlitt will look at some of the most recent trade suggestions involving the Detroit Lions and share their opinions on if that trade makes sense for the organization.
