Overview

• ESPN's Bill Barnwell outlined two trade ideas for Detroit ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline, calling for veteran edge help to pair with Aidan Hutchinson.
• He proposes sending a 2026 second-round pick to the Bengals for Trey Hendrickson with a 2026 fourth returning to Detroit.
• He also suggests dealing a 2026 fourth-round pick to the Dolphins for Jaelan Phillips with a 2026 seventh coming back.
• Both pass rushers are effectively rentals based on current contracts, which could limit long-term control but potentially yield future compensatory picks.
• Local coverage notes the Lions have more than $25 million in cap space yet have major extensions looming, making such moves a departure from Brad Holmes' stated financial and draft-focused approach, and no trades have been reported.
