Dan Campbell suggests Lions are hunting for a pass-rusher (Maxx Crosby?) in a trade

For each intents and purposes, the Detroit Lions are a bona fide Super Bowl favorite. They are easy nan champion and astir complete squad successful nan NFC. But each top-flight contender could still usage a small help. The Lions, now without prima pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson for nan season, are nary different.

That’s why it was eye-opening to spot Lions caput coach Dan Campbell allude to nan anticipation of Detroit making a large waste and acquisition complete nan adjacent mates of weeks.

In an quality connected Detroit sports power position 97.1 The Ticket, Campbell hinted astatine nan Lions “needing a small spot [more pressure]. As nan Lions peruse their options, Campbell maintained that group they’ve brought successful for try-outs could besides ever beryllium a possibility.

But nan evident elephant successful nan room would beryllium taking a large plaything successful a imaginable Super Bowl year. You know, a location tally for illustration Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro Maxx Crosby, who happens to beryllium a Michigan native:

I firmly judge that nan Lions person capable if they want to spell each nan way. Because of their ascendant violative line, they person an unstoppable discourtesy nary 1 has an reply for. And moreover without Hutchinson, they person capable protect playmakers to flip a large game.

With that said, Detroit’s halfway is already locked up for nan foreseeable future. Now would beryllium nan clip to return a calculated consequence and bring successful a superstar to a heavyweight team. Can you ideate personification for illustration Crosby successful Detroit wreaking havoc disconnected nan edge? Furthermore, tin you ideate him teaming up pinch Hutchinson adjacent year?

If nan Lions make a move — and it judge seems for illustration they will — that’s nan result I’m rooting for.
