Lions Poised to Make Move for Za’Darius Smith, Says NFL Insider
As the Detroit Lions look to strengthen their defense for the upcoming season, NFL insiders are reporting that the team is set to make a move for veteran pass rusher Za’Darius Smith. This comes as part of the Lions’ ongoing efforts to enhance their roster and become serious contenders in the NFC.
Smith, who has made a name for himself with his explosive pass-rushing ability, was previously with the Minnesota Vikings but has been a key target in trade talks during the offseason. The 31-year-old has earned a reputation as one of the league’s top edge rushers, with multiple Pro Bowl selections under his belt and a history of double-digit sack seasons. His ability to disrupt quarterbacks and create havoc in the backfield would be a significant boost to the Lions’ defensive line.
The Lions have been aggressive in recent years, building a competitive roster and showing signs of becoming a playoff contender. Their defense, however, remains one area in need of improvement. Adding a proven pass rusher like Smith would provide an immediate impact, giving Detroit a veteran presence to complement younger players and elevate the overall performance of the defensive front.
Sources suggest that a deal is in the works, with negotiations progressing in a positive direction. While the specifics of the trade are still unclear, it is believed that the Lions are offering significant compensation to secure Smith’s services. The team’s front office is determined to make the right moves in order to push for a playoff berth and potentially challenge for a division title.
For fans of the Lions, this potential trade represents a major step forward as the franchise aims to build a winning culture. The addition of Za’Darius Smith could be the missing piece to a defense that has struggled to consistently generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks. With Smith on board, Detroit could emerge as one of the more dangerous defenses in the NFC next season.
