Detroit Lions Set Date Numbers? Hutch & Goff “Red Root” Welcome Myles Garrett To Team!-HN

Aiden Hutchinson Reacts to Miles Garrett Trade Rumors: What Does It Mean for the Lions?

The NFL offseason is always buzzing with trade rumors, and one of the latest has fans wondering: Could the Detroit Lions trade for Cleveland Browns star defensive lineman, Miles Garrett? Naturally, Lions fans were curious to hear what Aiden Hutchinson, the team’s standout defensive end, thought about the idea.

What Did Hutchinson Say?

During an interview at Radio Row—a huge gathering spot during Super Bowl week filled with media personalities, players, and celebrities—Hutchinson was asked about the possibility of teaming up with Garrett. His response?

“You can’t have that many dudes on one D-line. I don’t know, who knows, but I think it’s very unlikely.”

At first glance, this might seem like Hutch is shutting down the idea. But let’s break it down.

Do Players Know the Whole Picture?

It’s important to remember that NFL players don’t always have the inside scoop on trades, cap space, or team strategies. While fans are glued to draft picks, salary caps, and contract details, players are more focused on playing football, staying in shape, and winning games. Hutchinson’s comment might just reflect that he’s not fully aware of the team’s roster plans or financial flexibility.

For example, if you listen to the St. Brown Brothers Podcast, you’d know that Amon-Ra St. Brown didn’t even know how many draft picks the Lions had! Players often leave those details to the front office.

Could This Still Happen?

While Hutchinson thinks a Garrett trade is unlikely, there are reasons to believe the Lions could make it work. The NFL salary cap is expected to rise, and teams have become creative with contract structuring. Jared Goff, for example, could restructure his deal to free up space if needed. Plus, some current Lions defensive linemen, like Marcus Davenport and Levi Onwuzurike, aren’t under contract next season, which could leave room for a big addition like Garrett.

Adding Garrett to the Lions’ defensive line would be game-changing. Imagine Hutchinson and Garrett on the same line—it could elevate Detroit’s defense to one of the best in the league, possibly rivaling teams like the Eagles.

The Photo That Got People Talking

Shortly after Hutchinson’s interview, a photo surfaced showing him alongside Jared Goff and—guess who—Miles Garrett! The trio was all smiles, sparking even more speculation. Were they discussing a potential team-up? Probably not. But it’s fun to imagine Hutchinson saying, “Imagine you and me on the D-line,” and Garrett replying, “Bro, that would be nasty.”

Of course, this is all just playful speculation. The photo might mean nothing more than three athletes enjoying a moment together. But for Lions fans dreaming of a dominant defense, it’s easy to get excited.

Does Money Even Matter to Garrett?

Another key point is Garrett’s own priorities. In interviews, like his appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Garrett has made it clear that winning a Super Bowl is more important to him than money. He even has ownership in the Cleveland Cavaliers, so it’s safe to say he’s financially secure.

If Garrett truly wants to win, the Lions could be an appealing destination. They’re a rising team with strong leadership and a talented roster. Plus, Goff—despite criticism for being a “game manager”—led the Lions deep into the playoffs and was even in the top five for MVP voting.

Final Thoughts: Should Lions Fans Get Excited?

While Hutchinson’s comments suggest that a trade for Garrett isn’t on his radar, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Players aren’t always looped into front office decisions, and the NFL is full of surprises. The Lions have the potential to make a big move, and with Garrett’s desire to win, Detroit could be a perfect fit.

So, should Lions fans get their hopes up? Maybe. But as Hutchinson himself seems to imply—who knows?

What do you think? Would Miles Garrett make the Lions’ defense unstoppable? Let me know in the comments!

And as always—Go Lions!
