Dan Campbell Detroit Lions
Getty Head coach Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions could compete with the Chicago Bears for a cornerback at the NFL trade deadline according to The Athletic's Jonathan Jones.
The Detroit Lions will play the Chicago Bears twice during the second half of the 2026 NFL season. But that might not be the only competition the Lions have with their rival and the defending NFC North champion.
The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones wrote Saturday morning both the Lions and Bears would “love” to add a player at the same position on defense.
“Detroit and Chicago would each love to add a cornerback if the price is right,” wrote Jones. I would suspect teams will call the Denver Broncos, who have some depth at that spot.
