For fans of the NFL, few offseasons have been more exciting than this one, with plenty of big-name players changing teams. Superstars and franchise cornerstones have been swapped for various draft picks, and the competitive landscape of the league will be shifted because of all this movement.
The Detroit Lions have not been an active part of these musical chairs, and nor should they be, as the team needs to hold onto the few valuable assets (both picks and players) it currently owns. But even without actually making any deals, the Lions may still come out of this trade season in better shape than entering.
