Report: Detroit Lions have had trade discussions for a wide receiver

According to a report for NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Detroit Lions are looking for help at wide receiver. Per Rapoport, the Lions have already had discussions with other teams and could be potential buyers at the NFL trade deadline on November 2—two weeks away—despite being winless this season.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if they go out and at least talk to some teams and they’ve done so already,” Rapoport said. “Talk(ed) to some teams about acquiring a receiver.”

The Lions certainly have an issue at wide receiver right now. Their top wideout, Tyrell Williams, suffered a concussion in Week 1, and his return is still “off in the distance” per head coach Dan Campbell.
