Lions consider trade proposal for defensive upgrades from Chargers

The Detroit Lions, currently 3-2 in the season, are exploring trade options to enhance their struggling defense. ESPN's Bill Barnwell proposed a swap with the Los Angeles Chargers that would send cornerback Donte Jackson and edge rusher Khalil Mack to Detroit in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round picks in 2027. Both players, who are set to hit free agency after this season, could provide immediate support for a defense that has faced challenges. Adding Mack could complement Aidan Hutchinson on the edge, while Jackson would lend veteran experience to the cornerback group. The Chargers, with a 0-6 record, are likely to be open to trades as they assess their roster.
