Lions Trade Idea Would Land Shedeur Sanders From Browns
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Detroit Lions have Jared Goff under center and he has been playing well since being acquired from the Los Angeles Rams. Last season, Goff finished fifth in the NFL MVP voting. While the Lions have their quarterback of the present, Goff is now 30 years old. He has played well, but Detroit could use a better backup quarterback option and a potential quarterback of the future. Right now, the Lions have Hendon Hooker and Kyle Allen behind Goff. However, a new trade suggestion would see the team land a major name to be the new primary backup. Shedeur Sanders #12 of the Cleveland Browns throws a pass during Cleveland Browns OTA offseason workouts at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on June 04, 2025 in Berea, Ohio.

Photo byAnne Erickson of Heavy Sports has suggested a surprising trade between Detroit and the Cleveland Browns that would feature Shedeur Sanders. Read more: Browns Insider Reveals Major Update Regarding Dillon Gabriel In her trade suggestion, Erickson had Sanders being shipped to Detroit in exchange for Hooker and a 2026 fifth-round pick. "The pitch is that the Lions get Sanders, and the Browns get (Hendon) Hooker and a 2026 fifth-round pick," Erickson wrote. "The Lions have a plethora of picks lined up for 2026, so losing a fifth-rounder shouldn't hurt too much. They would still have their coveted first and second-round picks. Plus, the Browns have a huge quarterback room, so it would be a better fit for Hooker, who seems to need more time to develop." Of course, this trade would only happen if Sanders isn't working his way up in the Browns' quarterback competition. He's facing stiff competition from Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Kenny Pickett. Read more: Aaron Rodgers Could Be Trouble For Steelers' Mike Tomlin Says Former Rival While it's an interesting idea, no one should expect Sanders to be traded by Cleveland. The Browns' fan base has done nothing but talk about and get excited about the former Colorado star since he was drafted in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders has a legitimate chance to become a franchise quarterback in the NFL. His arm talent is more than capable of handling that role and he has shown a great drive to be special so far in Cleveland. If this trade were on the table, the Lions would be wise to pursue it. However, there is a very good chance that the Browns would have zero interest in considering moving on from Sanders at this point. Expect to continue hearing Sanders' name as the season draws closer. He's one of the most popular talking points in the NFL right now. For more Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

Fagerson becomes first injury casualty for Lions as Bealham called up for Australia rugby tour
Associated Press DUBLIN (AP) — Scotland prop Zander Fagerson was ruled out of the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia because of injury on Monday, with Ireland international Finlay Bealham called up as a replacement. It adds to the growing concerns about the tighthead prop situation with the Lions, because Tadhg Furlong is nursing a calf injury and Will Stuart will only link up late with the squad as he is playing for Bath in the English Premiership final on Saturday. The players in the Lions squad who are not still involved in club duties have assembled in Dublin and will travel to Portugal on Tuesday for a six-day training camp. Fagerson will miss out because of a calf injury so Bealham becomes the 16th Ireland player in the 38-man group. 'It's tough on Zander to miss out so close to the tour," Lions coach Andy Farrell said, 'but now Finlay gets an opportunity to come in and add to the group. This is unfortunately part and parcel of the game, so we always have to be prepared for that.' England players Jamie George — a hooker and two-time Lions tourist — and Asher Opoku-Fordjour — a 20-year-old prop with one international cap to his name — will travel to Portugal to train with the squad but haven't officially been added to the group. Before heading Down Under, the Lions will play Argentina in a match in Dublin on June 20. In Australia, the Lions will play three tests against the Wallabies, along with six more games — against Western Force, Queensland Reds, NSW Waratahs, ACT Brumbies, an Invitational Australia and New Zealand XV, and a First Nations and Pasifika XV. ___ AP rugby: in this topic
