Lions Named Landing Spot for All-Pro Pass-Rusher
The Detroit Lions could be one move away from finally having the championship roster they desire.
The Detroit Lions stand on the verge of greatness, according to former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum. He believes a trade for Las Vegas Raiders' All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby could be the missing piece to help the team win now. Tannenbaum stated that if the Lions are willing to let go of two second-round picks, Crosby should be immediately acquired.
He cites the health issues of starting defensive linemen Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch, as well as the recent cut of Terrion Arnold, as reasons to bolster the secondary by pairing Hutchinson with Crosby. Crosby, 29, was nearly traded to Baltimore for first-round picks earlier in the offseason but was subsequently placed on injured reserve after undergoing meniscus surgery.
Despite his injury history, Crosby remains one of the NFL's premier pass-rushers, with 439 tackles, 69.5 sacks, 11 forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries in his career. The Lions, hoping to secure their first Vince Lombardi Trophy, might want to reach out to the Raiders about Crosby's availability, given Hutchinson's injury history.
