Lions Fans in FRENZY: Trade Robertson for Garrett?! Ex-Receiver Ignites DEBATE Over Defensive Shakeup!
Hold onto your Honolulu Blue and Silver, Detroit! A former NFL receiver has just thrown a massive wrench into the Lions’ offseason plans, suggesting they trade cornerback Amik Robertson to the Cleveland Browns for superstar edge rusher Myles Garrett! Is this a stroke of genius that would solidify the Lions’ defense, or a risky gamble that could leave them exposed in the secondary?!
Robertson Out, Garrett In?! A Proposal That’s Dividing the Den!
While this specific trade scenario hasn’t been widely reported, the *possibility* of the Lions landing Garrett has been a hot topic, with recent odds suggesting Detroit is a potential suitor[1]. However, the idea of trading Robertson to make it happen has sparked outrage and excitement in equal measure, setting the Lions fanbase ablaze!
The Case for Garrett: A Super Bowl-Caliber Pass Rush
The Detroit Lions struggled to establish a consistent pass rush, especially after star Aidan Hutchinson went down with a fractured leg in October[3]. The Lions’ defense accounted for just 37 sacks in 2024, ranking 23rd in the league and registered the lowest total among the 14 clubs that made the postseason[3].
### What the Lions Would Have to Give Up
A potential trade for Garrett would undoubtedly be costly, given his stature and the impact he has on a defense[1]. The Lions would have to part with significant draft capital, something that could go against their usual strategy of building through the draft[1].
### Should Aaron Glenn bring Amik Robertson to the Jets?
With Aaron Glenn now the head coach of the New York Jets, it’s a natural expectation he might like to bring some of his former Detroit Lions’ defensive players with him[4]. So the report he will “pound the table” for some looming free agents on that front is no surprise[4]. As part of their offseason trade guide for every NFL team, Bleacher Report offered three potential trade targets for each team. Lions cornerback Amik Robertson made the list for the Jets[4].
Would trading Robertson for Garrett be worth it, or should the Lions stand pat and trust their current roster? The debate is raging!
