To complement Aidan Hutchinson, the Lions are expected to acquire a superstar for $94 million.

The Detroit Lions have a pivotal offseason on the horizon, as general manager Brad Holmes will look to bolster a roster that is one of the deepest in football but fell flat in the divisional round versus the Washington Commanders.

Though the Lions’ season ended in disappointment and head coach Dan Campbell has to replace both coordinators, as Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn landed head coaching jobs this week, Detroit still has an incredibly bright future.

Holmes has done a terrific job building the team through the draft and patching up other holes in free agency, and one of his best draft choices as Lions general manager came in 2022 when he selected edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson with the No.2 overall pick.

Though Hutchinson played just five games in 2024 after fracturing his tibia and fibula during the team’s Week 6 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, the former Michigan standout has established himself as one of the most dominant pass rushers in football and is a franchise cornerstone for the Lions.

When healthy, Hutchinson is a game wrecker with Hall-of-Fame potential, but Detroit could use another formidable defensive lineman opposite the 24-year-old. Though the Lions have much bigger needs and should try to save some draft capital, The Wright Way Network’s Daniel Alameda predicts Holmes will pull off a blockbuster trade for Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby.
