An NFL trade is like the Spanish Inquisition. Nobody expects it.
The whole point is you’re not supposed to see it coming until it happens.
That means anything can happen with the Detroit Lions by the NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. Oct. 30. But what’s more likely is that nothing will happen.
But I don’t think the Lions will or should make a major move. Here’s why.
They view themselves as a team on the rise, having won three of their past four games, and against good teams. That means there’s no need to sell off pieces and salvage a bad season.
