Lions Eye Engram Trade for Offensive Boost

0:00It's April 21st. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI Your Gridiron Update. I'm Cory with the story. The Detroit Lions are plotting a comeback for 2026 after a rough 2025 season. They still boast the loaded core, with Jared Goff slinging passes, Jameer Gibbs running wild, Auman Ross St. Brown and Sam Laporta lighting up the offense, plus studs like Aiden Hutchinson and Brian Branch anchoring the defense. To supercharge that attack, one hot idea floating around is trading for Denver Broncos tight end Evan Ingram during draft season. Lions insiders point out Ingram as a prime target since he brings serious athleticism and a track record of production. He's a two-time pro-buller, whose tops 600 receiving yards in four seasons, making him a clear step up from the current backups. Right now, Brock Wright has stuck around but never scared defenses as a receiver, and the offseason pickup Tyler Conklin managed just seven catches. Last year, fans and analysts see Ingram slotting in perfectly as the number two tied in, giving

That group would give any secondary nightmares, especially with Goff's history of feast mode offenses under Dan Campbell. If the Broncos shop Ingram amid his $14 million cap hit and a down year, Lions GM Brad Holmes should make the call to Sean Payton. It's the kind of savvy, low-cost grab that turns contenders into champions.
