Mike Tannebaum’s ridiculous Detroit Lions trade proposal

Mike Tannebaum’s ridiculous Detroit Lions trade proposal

Ex NFL CEO Mike Tannebaum on Friday morning gushed over his proposal for one of the worst trade deals in history involving… Detroit Lions and the Cleveland Browns.

“The Lions will acquire Myles Garrett with three first-round picks, Jahmyr Gibbs and one second-round pick,” Tannenbaum explained on ESPN’s latest “Get Up” morning show. “AND Detroit Lions They will win the Super Bowl.”

Immediately, the co-hosts were left scratching their heads and confused.

Dan Graziano joked: “Are they going to throw a punch at Joe Louis? Will they throw in the GM building? What else? Bridge to Canada?”

Tannenbaum was willing to defend his stance, explaining, “Why wouldn’t they win the Super Bowl with Myles Garrett, given the way this offense is going?”

“You could have won it without them,” Graziano replied.

It is widely believed around the league that the Lions are looking to strengthen their defensive line amid the injury crisis Aidan Hutchinson had clear consequences.

“They need a striker in the worst way,” Tannenbaum said. “Aidan Hutchinson could come back, this guy (Garrett) is still young, in the prime of his career and if I DetroitI can win the Super Bowl. Jahmyr Gibbs is a good player, but he can be replaced.

The most popular player linked to Detroit is the Browns defensive lineman Za’Darius Smith.

“You have the right team, wrong player. Go Za’Darius Smith and keep your picks,” Bart Scott said. “Jahmyr Gibbs in his hitter. This is a team that relies on running the football. Nothing will happen to Za’Darius Smith, you’ll get a box of cool aids from him.

Lions fans were quick to reject this proposal because Gibbs becomes an explosive offensive weapon.

“This team is good enough without making these types of changes. Giving up on Jahmyr Gibbs means giving up part of your offensive identity,” Ryan Clark said. “And the offensive identity of this team is, to me, the driving force behind winning the Super Bowl.”
