The Detroit Lions are off to an 0-6 start and with the NFL trade deadline approaching, there has been speculation that the Lions could look to move on from some veteran players.
One player who has been mentioned as a potential trade target around the league is S Tracy Walker.
In a piece recently published in Bleacher Report, it was suggested that the Indianapolis Colts should be targeting Walker to bolster a secondary that just lost Julian Blackmon to an Achilles injury.
From Bleacher Report:
The team’s safeties are a particular weak point, as Khari Willis and Julian Blackmon aren’t the best defensive backs in coverage. Also, Blackmon suffered an Achilles injury during Wednesday’s practice session. Tracy Walker is a capable free safety along the back line with the ability to erase potential mistakes.Â
Obviously, the Detroit Lions are transitioning under new general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell. The team is struggling to find an identity, and one can expect more turnover next offseason as the roster starts to align with the franchise’s new approach. Walker is a pending free agent, and the Lions could get something for him now.
Nation, should the Lions consider trading Tracy Walker or is he a player you would rather they keep around as a building block for the future?
