The Lions need to sign former All-Pro Free Agent Pass Rusher .
The Detroit Lions haven’t taken any steps to fix their defense ahead of the NFL trade deadline, but that doesn’t mean they’re done tinkering with the roster.
Detroit is in desperate need of a passer to pair with Aidan Hutchinson and one is available in free agency!
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday morning that Jason Pierre-Paul, 34, is looking to join a contender this season.
Let’s break down this news and try to determine whether Pierre-Paul is on to something.
Jason-Pierre Paul is a Perfect Fit for Lions Pierre-Paul seems desperate to return to football, saying he would even accept a spot on a team’s practice squad.
He’s been a free agent all season, but now that the deadline has passed, his value has gone up, as teams are unable to address any pass-rushing concerns through trades the rest of the season.
And there’s certainly evidence that he still has some juice left in the tank.
Pierre-Paul signed with Baltimore in September of last season and wound up playing in 14 games, finishing with 26 total tackles, three sacks, an interception and five pass breakups.
The Lions’ linebacking corps has been strong this season, but there has been little pressure on the quarterback from players not named Hutchinson or Alim McNeil (10).
5 team sacks from everyone else through eight games).
Knowing that Pierre-Paul is ready to sign with the practice squad, what are the Lions waiting for?
Let’s find Pierre-Paul and let’s try to compete in the Super Bowl for the first time in our lives!
