One of the NFL's hottest teams is getting a much-needed boost in the pass-rush department after Detroit has agreed to trade for Cleveland Browns defensive end Za'Darius Smith.
After losing Pro Bowl edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson in Week 6 to a fractured tibia and fibula during a 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys, the Lions will rely on Smith to pick up the slack.
Hutchinson was viewed as an early favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year before getting hurt, entering Week 6 leading the NFL in sacks, pressures and pass rush win rate.
While on the air, Dan Campbell couldn't officially confirm the deal but reiterated his belief in general manager Brad Holmes.
