4X PRO BOWLER. TORN ACL LAST YEAR. SHOULD LIONS TAKE THE GAMBLE?
This is NOT a trade. This is NOT done. This is an IDEA.
Bleacher Report’s Moe Morton named the Lions as one of the best fits for free-agent CB Marshon Lattimore.
And it makes sense — because Detroit didn’t get a corner at the deadline. Not one CB was traded league-wide on Monday and Tuesday.
Who is he?
• 30 years old • 4x Pro Bowler • $104.7M earned in his career, per Spotrac • Last year with Washington: 7 pass defenses, 1 INT in 9 games • Last Pro Bowl: 2021
Why he’s still free:
He tore his ACL in Week 9 last season — his last game with Washington. Washington released him before free agency. He hasn’t signed with anyone all year.
He also hasn’t played a full season since 2021. That’s the risk.
Why Detroit could do it:
He’d cost NO draft pick. He could start on the practice squad, get acclimated, then be ready for the stretch run. Cheap, short-term, low-risk if the medicals check out.
Dan Campbell said Wednesday the team did look at the trade market, but he’s confident in the current roster.
So the question is simple:
Do you take a gamble on a 4x Pro Bowler coming off ACL surgery — or do you trust the guys you already have?
