We have been told over and over again by the local beat writers that the Detroit Lions will not make a big splash in free agency.
That may or may not be true but could Lions GM Brad Holmes acquire a 5-time Pro Bowl player via a trade?
According to a rumor floating around, the Lions could be interested in Los Angeles Chargers guard Trai Turner, who is reportedly being shopped around.
Turner, who is still just 27 years old, was originally selected by the Carolina Panthers in the 3rd Round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Since then, he has made the Pro Bowl on five occasions (2015-2019).
Nation, would you like to see the Lions acquire Turner via a trade?
Chargers are actively shopping former Pro-Bowl guard Trai Turner, per source. It looks like he will be traded or released in the near future. He’s due $11.5 million this season.

The Pro Bowl guard may be traded for the second straight year. The #Chargers are looking around for a deal look for the #WashingtonFootballTeam to be interested and also the #Lions #NFL

As much as we could use a pro bowler on the O-line. The Lions need more picks so to give up any of our few draft picks this year would not be benefitial. I would have to say no to this.
