DETROIT -- Help is on the way for the Detroit Lions.
One of the NFL's hottest teams is getting a much-needed boost in the pass-rush department after Detroit has agreed to trade for Cleveland Browns defensive end Za'Darius Smith, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Detroit will receive Smith and a 2026 seventh-round draft selection from the Browns and give up a 2025 fifth-rounder and a 2026 sixth-rounder in the trade, according to Schefter.
After losing Pro Bowl edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson in Week 6 to a fractured tibia and fibula during a 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, the Lions will rely on Smith to pick up the slack with a committee approach after losing Hutchinson.
