A proposal for the NFL trade deadline suggests that the Seahawks could send edge help to the Lions, especially with Aidan Hutchinson currently on injured reserve.
Compared to how most NFL teams have fared against the Detroit Lions this year, the Seattle Seahawks’ 13-point loss a month ago appears less daunting now.
The Lions have remained undefeated since, defeating the Dallas Cowboys by 38 points, narrowly beating the tough Minnesota Vikings, and recently demolishing the Tennessee Titans, again by a 38-point margin.
It’s unfortunate that Detroit’s star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is unable to finish the season with the Lions due to a broken leg, which led to his placement on injured reserve two weeks ago. This development likely makes Detroit a buyer at the NFL trade deadline for edge help. Could the Seahawks be willing to assist?
According to a trade proposal by Logan Ulrich at NFL Trade Rumors, they might be. In a list of nine potential trades, one suggests that Seattle send outside linebacker Trevis Gipson to Detroit.

“Gipson was traded to the Seahawks at the end of the preseason but has fallen out of the edge rusher rotation, even with Seattle facing injuries.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see him move again, whether before the deadline or later via waivers. The Lions have a well-known need for an edge rusher, and head coach Dan Campbell acknowledged after Week 7 that a move was likely.
