Detroit Lions: 5 players who could be traded in 2019
Theo Riddick – Running Back
Ideally, last offseason was the time to trade this once highly touted receiving back. A new offensive coordinator could help reestablish himself but he’s overpaid and doesn’t do enough on his own to warrant a roster spot.
To put it simply, Riddick is expendable. An easy contract to eat up for Detroit and an appealing deal that teams could bit on makes it a logical trade possibility. His value dropped significantly, so keeping him on the squad and waiting til the trade deadline to get the most out of him isn’t out of the question.
Asking price per draft pick: 5th-6th round
Expected draft compensation: 6th-7th round
Best trade type based on value: Player for player
