From Barnwell at ESPN - trade proposal column:
Lions go all-in for a star defender
Let's create NFL trade offers that help both teams: 15 from Bill Barnwell, including four for DenverCould the Broncos part ways with several players before the Oct. 31 trade deadline? We proposed 15 logical NFL deals.
Lions get: EDGE Danielle Hunter, 2024 fifth-round pick
Vikings get: 2024 second-round pick, EDGE James Houston, 2025 third-round pick (conditional)
The Lions should go for it, right? At 4-1, they're well ahead of the NFC North and just a game back of the 49ers and Eagles at the top of the conference. Aidan Hutchinson is playing like a Defensive Player of the Year contender, but no other Lions defender has more than two sacks. Houston, who surprisingly had eight sacks as a rookie last season, is out indefinitely after fracturing his right ankle in Week 2. Veteran Romeo Okwara hasn't been the same since tearing his Achilles several years ago. While Charles Harris is a solid player, Detroit could dream of adding a second star across from Hutchinson on the edge.
Hunter is probably the best player with a realistic chance of being moved by this deadline. The 28-year-old standout has six sacks and a league-high nine tackles for loss through five games this season. He landed a one-year, $17 million deal after a hold-in this summer, but with free agency looming and the Vikings repeatedly reticent to offer him a new deal, he is likely to leave the organization in the offseason.

Other teams know that, which is why the Vikings wouldn't be likely to land a first-round pick for a player with three months remaining on his deal, even given Hunter's pedigree, 2023 production and age. The acquiring team would get to recoup a potential compensatory pick for him in free agency if it lost him, although that pick would be canceled out if the team spent on new free agents accordingly.
Trading Hunter would save the Vikings $8.3 million over the remainder of 2023. They would land Houston -- who looks like a promising pass rush prospect with two years of team control remaining through restricted free agency -- and a second-round pick in April's draft. They would also get a third-round pick in 2025 if Hunter re-signs with the Lions in free agency.
Most teams wouldn't be willing to trade a standout within their own division, but Minnesota general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah seems to relish making deals in the NFC North. The Lions traded up with their rivals to land wideout Jameson Williams in the 2022 draft then sent tight end T.J. Hockenson to the Vikings for draft picks last fall. A then-struggling Detroit team was sending a starter to the first-place Vikings. Now, those roles are reversed.
