<\/figure>\nWhy Detroit Makes Sense<\/h3>\n
The Lions are coming off their best season in recent memory, including a 15-2 record and a trip to the NFC Championship Game. The foundation is strong, the coaching is sharp, and the team\u2019s Super Bowl window is as open as it\u2019s been in decades.<\/p>\n
As Sullivan wrote, \u201cThe Lions are firmly within their Super Bowl window, so looking for experienced players who have climbed that mountain should be appealing to them.\u201d Jalen Ramsey checks every one of those boxes.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s a three-time All-Pro. He\u2019s played in the biggest games. He brings leadership, edge, and the kind of competitive fire that Dan Campbell loves. For a Lions team still rounding out its secondary, Ramsey could be the missing piece.<\/p>\n
Detroit\u2019s Secondary Could Use One More Piece<\/h3>\n
Yes, the Lions have already made moves. They added D.J. Reed in free agency. They spent their first-round pick on Alabama standout Terrion Arnold. But depth at cornerback is a necessity in today\u2019s NFL, especially for contenders.<\/p>\n
Detroit still allowed 244 passing yards per game last season \u2014 the third most in the league. Ramsey might not be the long-term future, but he could be the short-term answer to locking down a playoff-caliber defense.<\/p>\n Ramsey turns 30 in October and has dealt with injuries over the last couple of years. But when healthy, he\u2019s still one of the best corners in football. It\u2019s worth noting that Lions GM Brad Holmes was in the Rams front office when Los Angeles originally traded for Ramsey in 2019.<\/p>\n If the compensation isn\u2019t too steep, and the salary can be managed under Detroit\u2019s cap, this could be one of those low-risk, high-reward moves that championship teams aren\u2019t afraid to make.<\/p>\n The Lions are in a place where bold moves make sense. They don\u2019t need a rebuild or a project \u2014 they need finishers. Ramsey brings experience, toughness, and a playoff-ready resume. If the Dolphins are ready to deal, Detroit would be smart to explore it.<\/p>\n Whether they make the call is still to be seen. But with Ramsey available, the fit is hard to ignore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jalen Ramsey is officially available, and CBS Sports thinks the Lions should be in the mix.
