Just In: Detroit lions to Engage in a Blockbuster trade proposal worth $135 Million

The Detroit Lions have been building up their defense piece by piece since the arrival of head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes, but one outlet suggests it could be time for a giant addition

Bleacher Report suggested the Lions could make a run at Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Joey Bosa, adding another impact player alongside budding star Aidan Hutchinson. The report suggested a stronger pass rush could alleviate the pressure on Detroit’s struggling secondary and boost the Lions’ Super Bowl hopes.

Lions Part With High Draft Pick in Trade Proposal

In Bleacher Report’s trade proposal, the Lions would land Bosa for a second-round pick — the No. 61 overall selection. While it is unclear whether the Chargers would move Bosa for a selection so low, other outlets have suggested he could be on the move this offseason. SI.com’s James Brizuela noted that the Chargers have a lot of salary cap space to clear and could consider moving Bosa to create more room.

The Lions could have some competition if they want to make a run at Bosa. Chargers insider Daniel Popper of 95.7 The Game added that the San Francisco 49ers could be in the mix as Bosa has a desire to play with his brother, Niners edge rusher Nick Bosa.

“At the end of the day, Joey Bosa he’s been pretty public about the fact that he’s always wanted to play with his brother,” Popper said. “Bosa has a base salary of $15 million this year, $17 million next year. I’m not super fluent in the Niners’ cap situation, but that’s what you would be taking on for you know, 24 and 25. So, we’ll see. I think the Chargers should at least listen. And if they’re listening then I think there are a number of places that makes sense for Joey Bosa.”
