    Sunday was both awesome and sad at the time. The Detroit Lions demolished the Dallas Cowboys, but also lost Aidan Hutchinson to a tibia injury. It absolutely sucks, but the season must go on and the Lions must be on the lookout for someone that can come in and help them out.

    There's a good handful of teams that look like they're fully out of it already, so we went and took a look at what they have to offer and worked up some trade proposals for each guy.

    Harold Landry

    Here's a guy that makes a lot of sense for the Lions. Landry spent his entire career with new Lions defensive line coach Terrell Williams. Landry had back to back 10 plus sack seasons with Williams and he could come to Detroit and get that going again.

    Here's why the trade works. The Titans are really bad. They might even be the worst team in the league. It's time for them to make some moves and with them having an out in Landry's contract after this season, now is a time that makes sense to move him. Here's the proposal:

    Lions get: Harold Landry
    Titans get: 2025 fourth-round and 2025 sixth-round pick

    Za'Darius Smith

    The Browns are a trainwreck as well, that's why shedding themselves of some contracts might be the way to go right now. You'd love to get Myles Garrett, but that ain't happening so don't even dream of it. Smith is gettable though.

    With three sacks in six games, he's having a decent year so far. Since he's 32-years-old, the Lions wouldn't have to offer a lot and since he's on a cheaper deal, they wouldn't have to pay him a lot either. Here's the proposal:

    Lions get: Za'Darius Smith
    Browns get: 2025 fifth-round pick

    Travon Walker

    This Jaguars team is really bad and they don't look like they're going to turn it around anytime soon. Here's a chance for them to avoid having to pay their recent first overall pick a ton of money right after the season.

    ESPN's Ben Solak recently suggested this trade and I think his compensation was more than fair.

    Lions get: Travon Walker
    Jaguars get: 2025 fourth-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round pick

    Trey Hendrickson

    Here's a guy that's linked to the Lions all the time. Our friends over at Pride of Detroit just put out a story in September about this move. A reunion with DJ Reader would be awesome and the Bengals look like they're pretty done at the moment and it might be time to do a little bit of a rest there. Here's the proposal:

    Lions get: Trey Hendrickson
    Bengals get: 2025 fourth-round pick and a 2026 fifth round pick

    It was nice to see a realistic trade proposal article. I could see all of these happening. I was expecting an article about how the Vikings or packers will trade their whole defense for a 4th pick
