LMAO...Gardner White is offering refunds on any furniture purchased if the Lions win the Super Bowl again this season. I bet they were sweating last year. Prolly rooting against the Lions to win.

My guess is that bought insurance against this.

Figure out a way to do it and do it now.   I don't care about 2028

I wonder what the price would be. Would you pay two firsts?

Everything I am readiing suggests a Khalil Mack type package would get it done.

Wow... a second and a sixth round pick?

Oh... you mean the FIRST Khalil Mack trade...

Two 1st, a 3rd and a 6th in exchange for a 2nd and a conditional 5th... plus Mack of course. Feels like a lot given the way that Holmes drafts. Plus of course I'd assume that this would also require a new big contract for Parsons, which might limit the Lions ability to resign other people... Not 100% sure I'd do that. Not 100% sure I'd not do it either... but it's not an automatic yes from me.

Yes that deal lol. Parsons is gonna want a huge payd and Hutch would be next. That would be some yuuuge money for the D-line, I still do it!

It would cost a lot, but ... I don't know, 24 and 26 year-old elite pass rushers. That would make a bunch of defensive positions better immediately.

If the Lions made a call on Maxx Crosby I’m sure they’ll make a call on Micah Parsons. The question becomes though what you’re willing to give up — both draft capital wise and contract extension wise.

If they traded for Parsons and extended both him and Hutch, you’re not extending Jamo, and probably not 2-3 of Gibbs/Campbell/LaPorta/Branch.

Is that worth it? Maybe. Parsons is a damn good football player. But you’re also setting yourself up for a bare cupboard in a few years unless you can really hit on some mid-round picks.

I tend to think there will be a higher bidder somewhere in the NFL.
