One such player is Cleveland Browns defender Za'Darius Smith. With the Browns mired in a 1-5 start to the season, they could be looking to make moves to replenish Draft capital. As the Lions need an upgrade at the position and the Browns could be seeking to rebuild,

Former Vikings edge rusher Za'Darius Smith wants his Browns to trade him to the Lions so he can exact some revenge on his former team.

After trading one veteran 30 years or older in wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills, the Browns may not be done. Their starting defensive end has been linked to the Lions by one former NFL general manager.

The Browns have traded away Amari Cooper, a sign the 1-5 team could continue to sell leading up to the trade deadline. If that proves true, edge rusher Za’Darius Smith could soon be on the move.

One rumor swirling around the NFL world is that some veterans could be heading elsewhere, including edge rusher Za'Darius Smith. There is speculation the veteran could go to the Detroit Lions, as they just lost their defensive star Aidan Hutchinson to a season-ending leg injury and could use a boost at the position.

Za’Darius Smith signed a two-year, $23 million contract with the Cleveland Browns in March. He has already recorded 3.0 sacks in six games this season and will play a pivotal role in his team’s success in the future.

The Cleveland Browns are a sinking ship at 1-5 through six games, and they’ve already shown they could be sellers at the trade deadline after sending Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. Naturally, Detroit Lions fans have looked their way when seeking possible trade options to help with the team’s needs on defense following the long-term injury to Aidan Hutchinson.
