T.J. Hockenson has a new home, but he won't be leaving the division.
The Detroit Lions traded Hockenson to the Minnesota Vikings before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, the Vikings announced.
NFL Network reported the deal is for a swap of future draft picks. The Lions will receive a 2023 second-round pick and 2024 third-round pick, and send a 2023 fourth-round pick and a 2024 conditional fourth-rounder to the Vikings.
Asked about the possibility of being traded last week, Hockenson said he loved playing in Detroit but seemed content to be dealt elsewhere.
