Everson Griffen trade: Instant reactions to the Detroit Lions’ aggressive move

For the third straight year, the Detroit Lions were active near the trade deadline, so the PODcast crew had to convene against for a EMERGENCY PODCAST.

Everson Griffen is not the player he was in his prime. We all know that. But the Lions’ pass rush remains one of the worst in the league, even with some of its recent improvements. Griffen is a player who was productive last year, was being misused on his new team this year, and will be coming to Detroit with plenty of motivation.

So the crew breaks down what they like about the trade, what they didn’t like about the trade, and how it impacts the players currently on the team.
