Detroit’s reaction to Myles Garrett’s trade request has been revealed, and it’s clear that the Lions are interested in acquiring the star edge rusher. Aidan Hutchinson, the Lions’ edge rusher, recently shared his thoughts on the possibility of playing alongside Garrett, saying it would be “deadly”
Hutchinson’s comments came after Garrett officially requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns, citing the team’s bleak future. The Browns have refused to budge, but that hasn’t stopped speculation about potential trade destinations
Hutchinson’s enthusiasm about the possibility of playing with Garrett is understandable. The two edge rushers would form a formidable duo, and their presence would elevate the Lions’ defensive line. Hutchinson noted that he and Garrett get along well, and they’ve had conversations about what could be if they were to play together
While the Lions’ interest in Garrett is clear, it’s worth noting that acquiring him would come with significant costs. Garrett is entering his age-30 season, and his contract would be a substantial addition to the Lions’ payroll. However, for a team that’s been close to making a deep playoff run, rolling the dice on a talent like Garrett might be worth the risk
Garrett’s trade request has sparked widespread speculation, with several teams rumored to be interested in acquiring him. The Lions, however, seem like a natural fit, given their need for a dominant edge rusher and their recent history of competitiveness
Ultimately, whether the Lions can pull off a trade for Garrett remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Detroit is interested, and Aidan Hutchinson is excited about the possibility of playing alongside the star edge rusher.
