REPORT: Detroit Lions Have “Checked In” On Superstar In Potential Blockbuster Trade After Aidan Hutchinson’s Injury

The Detroit Lions are reportedly expected to push strongly to add a quality pass-rusher via trade after superstar defensive end Aidan Hutchinson suffered a fractured tibia and fibula in Sunday’s 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

With star edge-rusher Aidan Hutchinson out for the rest of the season with a fractured leg, the Detroit Lions need to bring somebody in who can produce somewhere close to what they are losing.

ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler reported that the Lions have “checked in” with the New York Jets and Pro Bowl defensive end Haason Reddick.

Fowler added that it might just be “diligence” on the part of the Lions as general manager Brad Holmes considers different options with the loss of Aidan Hutchinson.

“The Lions have checked in on the Haason Reddick situation, per source. Could just be diligence. But Dan Campbell promised that GM Brad Holmes is doing his homework, and that appears to be the case here,” Fowler wrote.

This would be perfect timing since the New York Jets just gave him permission to seek a trade amid his contract dispute.
