She noted that the Lions have \u201cchecked in with numerous teams around the league.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"DqhK8g\">Late on Saturday night, ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter echoed Russini\u2019s statements, posting the following on Twitter:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Lions continue making calls about pass rushers, and have spoken to the Browns about former Pro Bowl defensive end Za&#8217;Darius Smith, who already has played in the NFC North for both the Packers and Vikings, according to sources. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/itBj5NhcNm\">https:\/\/t.co\/itBj5NhcNm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1852921560165703787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 3, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"ZPTRkv\">Both Russini and Schefter specifically mention Browns defensive end Za\u2019Darius Smith as someone Detroit has been inquiring about. We\u2019ve identified Smith several times as a good, logical fit for the Lions, and Smith even himself admitted he\u2019d like landing with Detroit. Earlier in the week, ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler reported that he believes Smith could be had for a \u201cdecent\u201d Day 3 draft pick.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1sutgA\">However, there is one huge complication to a potential Lions\/Browns trade for Smith: Cleveland may not sell. Ian Rapoport, who also identified the Lions as a team interested in Smith, noted that \u201cit\u2019s not a given that they trade the 32-year-old veteran.\u201d Jordan Schultz didn\u2019t specifically mention the Browns but noted that, \u201cSeveral AFC teams have paused trade talks to see where they stand after Sunday\u2019s game. With so many 2-win teams in the AFC, some aren\u2019t ready to give up on their seasons or trade players at a discount.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"QxfqOe\">The Browns sit at just 2-6 on the season and have lost starting quarterback Deshaun Watson for the season. However, they are coming off a big win over the Baltimore Ravens last week. They remain extreme long-shots to make the playoffs (3.4% probability by DVOA), but if they beat the Los Angeles Chargers this week, they may still believe.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SInkII\">In other words, if Za\u2019Darius Smith is your guy, root for the Chargers to put an end to what little hope the Browns have in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s the latest trade rumors surrounding the Detroit Lions and Browns DE Za\u2019Darius Smith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1156,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
