5 other potential trade targets for Detroit Lions to replace Aidan Hutchinson

4. Emmanuel Ogbah, Miami Dolphins

The 31-year old Ogbah a couple of years removed from his best seasons. After a season-ending triceps injury in 2022, he was more of a depth piece for Miami last season (one start, 5.5 sacks, 20 total pressures). He is off to a solid start this year back in a starting role though, with two sacks and 10 pressures over five games with a top-50 PFF run defense among edge defenders (208 snaps).

The direction the Dolphins season' goes hangs on the health of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as he works his way back from another concussion. But Ogbah may welcome the chance to be a on a team that can win the Super Bowl this year (the Dolphins are not in that conversation, even if Tagovailoa is and stays healthy), and he's got one ring from his time with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ogbah is also not likely to cost much (a Day 3 draft pick?, with conditions?), which would seem to further put him right in the Lions' wheelhouse.

3. Josh Hines-Allen, Jacksonville Jaguars

ESPN's Dan Orlovsky called for the Lions to be aggressive in their effort to replace Hutchinson, mentioning Maxx Crosby and another guy on this list by name. Then he added Hines-Allen to his list.

"I think you could call the (Jacksonville) Jaguars for Josh Hines-Allen."

As Jaguars' edge rushers go, Travon Walker has been easier to offer as a potential trade target for the Lions (before and after Hutchinson's injury). But it's also been hard to see them giving up on the No. 1 pick in the 2022 draft (one pick ahead of Hutchinson, of course).

The Jaguars franchise-tagged Hines-Allen in March, then they signed him to a five-year, $141.25 million deal. So even as their season goes downhill, and as changes seem to be coming after the season, he is surely seen as a core piece of the future.

It's unlikely Orlovsky is working with any specific inside information in his mention of Hines-Allen as someone the Lions could call about. It was simply within his premise that they should be aggressive to replace Hutchinson, and maybe the Jaguars would listen. There's a non-zero percent chance they would.
