Approaching the NFL trade deadline this time last year, the Detroit Lions were in familiar territory. Same old Lions. Same old failure. Same old merry go round of rebooting, retooling, rebuilding and regurgitating a plea for patience.
Team owner Sheila Ford Hamp met with reporters after a 1-5 start and reiterated her faith in a process that once again appeared to be on the cusp of catastrophic failure. The team was coming off back-to-back pummelings at the hands of the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys.
A few days later, the Lions lost to the Miami Dolphins at home, falling to 1-6. Campbell's job was squarely on the hot seat. And just when fans thought it couldn't get lower, the franchise traded away young tight end T.J. Hockenson …. If this didn't look like tanking and a season being absolutely flushed down the drain, nothing did.
Some of these teams that seem like sellers and plug-pullers into the Oct. 31 trade deadline may actually be tying up some of the business that will turn them into the right direction. And others might be acquiring players to maximize a window that is much smaller than anyone anticipates. With that in mind, Detroit could be the team that gets aggressive and makes calls on the upper-tier pass rushers, the mid-to-high-level cornerbacks and maybe even a wide receiver if there’s a good deal to be had. Cardinals wideout Marquise Brown is another name that came up with a line drawn to the Lions by another front office. And one team that has been doing some work on Carolina Panthers edge Brian Burns clearly seemed to think Detroit could be a trade rival for his services.
As for the rest of the roster, the"open for business" sign is out … but I don't think it's the fire sale people want to assume after the departures of Randy Gregory and Frank Clark. Those wereas much as anything else. Between the two available wideouts, Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, Sutton is the more viable trade candidate given price vs. production. His salary is not scary for a solid No. 2 wideout moving forward, but also easily cuttable.
