Detroit Lions NFL trade deadline tracker: Latest news, rumors
A look at the latest news, rumors, and other developments for the Detroit Lions at the NFL’s trade deadline.
The NFL trade deadline is almost here. For the remainder of the 2023 season, teams will not be able to trade any players after Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.
This is a unique chance for the Detroit Lions to act as buyers. The Minnesota Vikings, who will be without Kirk Cousins for the remainder of the season, are now two games behind the Lions, who are 6-2 at the bye and second in the NFC. Even if the Lions’ roster is far from complete, it seems like there is still room for them to go far in 2023.

However, we’ll update this piece with the most recent (and trustworthy) rumors and news regarding the Lions trade deadline as the day goes on.

The way other contenders approach the trade deadline, according to Lions coach Dan Campbell, won’t affect them.
Just this past week, the Seahawks (DT Leonard Williams) and Eagles (safety Kevin Byard) made transactions to bolster their rosters. Campbell added that it has no bearing on how the Lions would handle trade deadline day.
GM Brad Holmes of the Lions is “grinding” for the trade deadline on Saturday, October 28.
Dan Campbell, the coach of the Lions, stated that Holmes has been putting in a lot of work these past few days looking into ways to bolster the team.
