Dan Campbell suggests Lions are hunting for a pass-rusher (Maxx Crosby?) in a trade

For all intents and purposes, the Detroit Lions are a bona fide Super Bowl favorite. They are easily the best and most complete team in the NFC. But every top-flight contender could still use a little help. The Lions, now without star pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson for the season, are no different.

That's why it was eye-opening to see Lions head coach Dan Campbell allude to the possibility of Detroit making a big trade over the next couple of weeks.

In an appearance on Detroit sports radio station 97.1 The Ticket, Campbell hinted at the Lions "needing a little bit [more pressure]. As the Lions peruse their options, Campbell maintained that people they've brought in for try-outs could also always be a possibility.

But the obvious elephant in the room would be taking a big swing in a potential Super Bowl year. You know, a home run like Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro Maxx Crosby, who happens to be a Michigan native:

I firmly believe that the Lions have enough if they want to go all the way. Because of their dominant offensive line, they have an unstoppable offense no one has an answer for. And even without Hutchinson, they have enough defensive playmakers to flip a big game.

With that said, Detroit's core is already locked up for the foreseeable future. Now would be the time to take a calculated risk and bring in a superstar to a heavyweight team. Can you imagine someone like Crosby in Detroit wreaking havoc off the edge? Furthermore, can you imagine him teaming up with Hutchinson next year?

If the Lions make a move -- and it sure seems like they will -- that's the outcome I'm rooting for.
