Lions consider trading edge rusher Terrion Arnold before 2026 season
Summary

The Detroit Lions may trade Terrion Arnold as they aim for a return to contention in 2026. Arnold, a former first-round pick, has struggled with injuries and performance, posting a 52.6 Pro Football Focus grade last season. With the team bringing back Rock Ya-Sin, the Lions could look to move Arnold before the season begins if they feel his future lies elsewhere after two inconsistent years. Given his first-round pedigree, trading him now could yield a better return than waiting for another down year.
