The Detroit Lions are reportedly trading for interior defensive lineman Michael Brockers, a nine-year starter (136 games) for the Los Angeles Rams. The Lions gave up only a 2023 seventh-round pick for Brockers in the deal—in a down year for acquiring defensive tackles, this is a brilliant move by general manager Brad Holmes.
The former first-round pick (14th overall) just turned 30 years old, has two years remaining on his contract, and—assuming it's a standard trade—should have a salary cap hit of $8 million in 2021, as well as a team option $9 million cap hit in 2022.
