At the NFL trade deadline, the Detroit Lions made some choices that are currently being examined.
Before the NFL trade deadline, the Detroit Lions made a single move.
The Lions made a trade on Monday to get Andre Cisco, a defensive back, from the New York Jets. Although the transfer is exciting, a lot of people believed that another one may be on the way, particularly to help bolster their defense.
Ultimately, other from the Cisco trade, the Lions decided against doing anything else before the 4 p.m. deadline on Tuesday. Given the busyness of other teams involved, this came as somewhat of a surprise.
The addition of Cisco and the Lions’ relative inactivity at the deadline seem to be a show of faith in their roster as they strive for a third NFC North championship in four years and a comeback to the postseason.
All of the San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, and Seattle Seahawks around them were busy making moves before the deadline. With Kirk Cousins joining the Vikings as quarterback, De’Forest Buckner joining the 49ers as defensive end, Jeffrey Simmons joining the Bears as defensive lineman, and Quinten Nelson bolstering the Seahawks’ offensive line, the NFC North is in for a shake-up.
