NFL Rumors: A Lions trade package for Chiefs star Chris Jones

The Lions were just one game away from reaching the postseason last year, and they’re expected to be in the mix for the NFC North title now that Aaron Rodgers has taken his talents to New York. The Lions upgraded their secondary big-time in the offseason with additions like C.J. Gardner-Johnson and more. Should they wish to add some serious defensive line talent alongside Aidan Hutchinson, Jones is the big-ticket item.

Unlike the Bears trade package, the Lions could include back-to-back firsts to sweeten the pot some. In doing so, they don’t necessarily have to throw in any second-round selections, meaning they can still add plenty of talent around their young core after they sign Jones long-term.

The obvious dilemma here for the Lions is if they don’t think Jared Goff is the quarterback who will lead them to the Super Bowl. Should they wish to take their QB of the future in the next two seasons, they would have to trade up, which would come at quite the expense without firsts of their own to flip.
