Detroit Lions Consider Adding Edge Rusher as Final Offseason Move

The general manager of the Detroit Lions has focused on upgrading the team’s defense during the offseason. Notably, the Lions revamped their cornerbacks room and added veteran players like Matt Judon and Khalil Mack, identified as potential options for the team. As the Lions head into training camp with high hopes, the need for a reliable edge rusher is being discussed.

Matt Judon, a four-time Pro Bowler and Michigan native, could be a valuable addition to the Detroit Lions’ pass-rushing unit. Judon, who has been productive with the New England Patriots, might be on the trade block as the Patriots are amidst a rebuild. His experience and skills as an edge rusher could provide a significant boost to the Lions’ defense.

On the other hand, Khalil Mack of the Los Angeles Chargers is also a name in the mix for the Lions. With his impressive sack numbers and experience, Mack could be a potential trade candidate for Detroit. As the Lions evaluate their roster gaps, adding a proficient edge rusher like Judon or Mack could be the final move of their offseason.

According to Bleacher Report‘s Alex Ballentine, both Judon and Mack present intriguing options for rebuilding teams. The Lions, who are looking to solidify their defense, should consider making a move for either player before the start of the season. With the possibility of acquiring a player of Judon or Mack’s caliber for a mid-round draft pick, the Lions could bolster their pass rush effectively.
