NFL.com Projects Lions Trade LaPorta

The proposed trade would see the Lions exchange LaPorta, their first-round pick (No. 17), and a sixth-round selection (No. 205) for Washington's No. 7 pick, a 2027 third-rounder, and TE Bin Sinnott.

Edholm acknowledges the remote possibility of LaPorta being traded, noting the tight end market has significantly increased and the Lions have multiple other players needing extensions. The Commanders would gain a proven TE who has worked with QB David Blough, while Detroit could use the higher selection to address their need at left tackle.
