Aidan Hutchinson Envisions Partnership with Myles Garrett on Lions' Defensive Line

Hutchinson expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of teaming up with Garrett, though he acknowledged it is unlikely due to financial and logistical challenges.

• Myles Garrett, a four-time All-Pro and 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, has requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns, citing team instability.
• Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson described a potential partnership with Garrett as 'deadly' and believes it would elevate the team's defensive line significantly.
• The Lions, coming off a 15-2 season and holding the 10th-most salary cap space in the NFL, have been speculated as a potential landing spot for Garrett.
• Despite the potential benefits, Hutchinson acknowledged that acquiring Garrett would be challenging due to the draft capital required and Detroit's need to manage future contracts, including his own extension.
• Garrett reportedly seeks to join a Super Bowl contender, and the Lions, as the NFC's No. 1 seed in 2024, fit that profile, though the Browns have not indicated willingness to trade him.
