Detroit Lions trade rumors 2024: Tracking all deadline news, deals

The 2024 NFL trade deadline is at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and there has never been more anticipation for Detroit Lions fans than this year's deadline. The Lions are not only in the midst of a Super Bowl run at 7-1 through eight games, but they're obviously buyers at the deadline given their extreme need for help at defensive end.

This isn't just about finding a productive player to fill Aidan Hutchinson's role. The Lions have also lost the following defensive line/EDGE players to injured reserve stints: Marcus Davenport, John Cominsky, Derrick Barnes, David Bada, Nate Lynn, Brodric Martin, and Kyle Peko.

Detroit has been able to make do with players like Josh Paschal, Levi Onwuzurike, James Houston, Al-Quadin Muhammad, and Isaiah Thomas, but it's clear that room needs an upgrade. The Lions aren't even hiding it anymore. Several times, coach Dan Campbell has told the media that they are looking and need upgrades. This was just Monday—about 24 hours prior to the deadline.

"I can tell you we're trying, (general manager) Brad's (Holmes) trying, and we've looked at everything, we really have, made a ton of calls, and he's been rolling on it," Campbell said.

But Campbell also warned that it takes two to tango , and they're prepared to find other ways to add talent, if necessary.
