Allen Park — With a 1-6 record, the Detroit Lions have opted to be sellers at the trade deadline, shipping tight end T.J. Hockenson to the Minnesota Vikings in a deal that includes four draft picks, with the Lions getting back a pair of Day 2 selections.
The Lions announced Tuesday afternoon they are sending Hockenson to the Vikings, along with a fourth-round pick in 2023 and a conditional fourth-rounder in 2024, in exchange for the Vikings' second-round pick in 2023 and a third-rounder in 2024.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the 2024 fourth-round pick from the Lions will convert to a fifth-round pick if the Vikings win a playoff game.
