The NFL’s trade deadline is this Tuesday, October 29th. Lots of big names at several positions are rumored to be on the trading block, and many teams are also looking to make key additions to bolster their chances for the rest of the 2019 season.
Bob Quinn and the Detroit Lions are somewhere in the middle. A year ago, the team was both a buyer (Damon Harrison) and a seller (Golden Tate). This year, the Lions have already traded away starting safety Quandre Diggs to the Seattle Seahawks in a controversial decision.
The Lions do have some needs (running back, linebacker) that could get filled by trade acquisitions. They also have some players (Darius Slay, Marvin Jones, A’Shawn Robinson) who could bring back more a substantial return than Diggs did which can help the team long-term.
