On Tuesday Morning, the Lions made a trade with the Cleveland Browns for defensive end Za’Darius Smith.
The Lions traded a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick for Za’Darius Smith and a 2026 seventh-round pick.
In eight games so far this season Za’Darius Smith has recorded five sacks.
The Lions have been looking for pass rush help since their star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson went down with a gruesome leg injury. Hutchinson led the Lions in total sacks with 7.5 in five games, before his injury.
