Lions Acquire Za'Darius Smith from Browns
The Detroit Lions have acquired pass rusher Za'Darius Smith from the Cleveland Browns in a trade that sends a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick to Cleveland, along with a 2026 seventh-round pick in return. This move comes after the Lions lost star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson for the season due to injury, and Smith, with five sacks this season and a total of 65 in his career, is expected to bolster Detroit's defense as they pursue a Super Bowl run. The Browns, currently struggling with a 2-7 record, aimed for a higher draft pick but settled for lesser picks, indicating a potential shift towards rebuilding. Analysts have noted that despite Smith's age, he has shown no signs of decline this season, making the trade compensation seem low for his talent. The deal highlights the Lions' urgent need for pass-rushing help and the Browns' strategy to offload aging assets amidst a disappointing season.
