The Detroit Lions have been searching for a playoff win for decades and a championship for more than 60 years. What would it take to win? We may not know right now, but what would fans be okay with the team giving up to win?

That’s where last week’s trade news comes into play. The Philadelphia Eagles have sent their quarterback, Carson Wentz, packing in a deal with the Indianapolis Colts in return for a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional second-round pick in 2022 that can potentially turn into a first-round pick.
