Top Two Players Lions Should Pursue via Trades in the 2024 NFL Offseason
The Lions head into the offseason with an optimistic outlook, backed by ample cap space and the absence of significant free-agent departures.
Despite a loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game, the relatively
brief tenure of Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has proven to be highly successful.
Elevating the team from three wins in 2021 to being just a few plays away from the Super Bowl this season.
Looking ahead to the 2024 season, the team’s prospects are promising. With considerable cap space and no noteworthy departures in free agency, the Lions aim to build on their achievements in 2023.
Offensively, potential upgrades at WR1 may be explored, considering Josh
Reynolds’ entry into free agency, and the guard position is identified as an area of concern.
Defensive reinforcements, particularly a cornerback or pass-rusher, are also on the radar.
The NFL Draft and free agency will play pivotal roles for Detroit, and trade acquisitions are being considered.
Two potential trade targets for the Lions this offseason are Charles Omenihu
(DE) from the Kansas City Chiefs and Hunter Renfrow (WR) from the Las Vegas Raiders.
Charles Omenihu, part of the Chiefs’ defense that ranked second in the NFL with 57
sacks in 2023, could bolster the Lions’ pass rush alongside standout Aidan Hutchinson.
Omenihu’s potential availability in the trade market stems from contract considerations, especially if the Chiefs prioritize re-signing Chris Jones.
Hunter Renfrow, despite a decline in value since his 1,000-yard season in 2021, could offer the Lions a reliable underneath threat.
With Josh Reynolds possibly leaving in free agency, Renfrow’s presence would complement the skills of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.
Renfrow’s recent production dip may make him an affordable acquisition despite his potential as a go-to receiver.
