Someone reset the counter: it’s officially been ‘0’ days since a national writer has mocked up a trade where the Detroit Lions acquire an edge rusher.
In a recent article from ESPN, NFL writer Ben Solak proposed the Lions acquire Pro Bowl edge rusher Trey Hendrickson from the Cincinnati Bengals in hopes of finally putting the finishing touches on Detroit’s pass rush and capitalizing on their championship window.
Proposed Trade Details:
- Lions receive: Trey Hendrickson, 2026 fifth-round pick
- Bengals receive: 2026 second-round pick, 2027 fourth-round pick (conditional—could become a third-rounder)
Solak writes that while Lions general manager Brad Holmes “has acknowledged the fan base wants a secondary edge rusher far more than he does,” a player of Hendrickson’s caliber next to Aidan Hutchinson could change his tune.
