THE Detroit Lions are just days away from the NFL trade deadline.

Although the team’s greatest need is widely considered to be defensethere are ways the team can use the trade deadline to improve their offense. Positions such as wide receiver and offensive tackle are somewhat thin, but both of those groups are led by an All-Pro starter.

Here are 10 offensive players Lions could be traded at Tuesday’s trade deadline.

Evan Neal

Neil is a former first-round draft pick who fell out of favor with the New York Giants. He did not start a game for the Giants, instead slotting behind veteran Jermaine Eluemunor. As a result, it could be moved to the deadline.

Detroit has solid interior depth, but the tackle position is thinner with Dan Skipper and Giovanni Manu as the only backup tackle. As a result, adding Neal as depth could have its upside.

WR Higgins T-shirt

Tee Higgins played an important role in Bengals‘ passing attack, but the team struggled to close out and win games early in the year. As a result, the team could decide to sell its assets if it fails to win on Sunday.

Higgins is one of, if not the best, wide receivers potentially available at this year’s deadline. While the Lions have a lot of weapons, Higgins would give them the opportunity to get even richer on the outside.

TEHarrison Bryant

The Lions have two solid tight ends in their offense, with Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright providing a 1-2 punch. Detroit also recently made a position change, releasing Parker Hesse, who had been the team’s starting fullback throughout the early part of the season.

Therefore, Detroit has only two tight ends on the active roster. More changes could come after Shane Zylstra was elevated for the third straight week, so the Lions will have to decide whether or not to elevate him to the active roster permanently this week. Otherwise, trading for a player like Bryant who was usurped by Brock Bowers could be beneficial.

Andrus OG peat

Peat is a veteran option who could help bolster the interior depth of the offensive line. Although there are young options behind the starters like Michael Niese, Colby Sorsdal and Christian mahoganyKayode Awosika is the only option to have started several matches in his career.

As a result, a veteran player like Peat could help bolster the depth in case the Lions need someone to step up.

WR Mike Williams

Williams is considered a likely trade candidate after the New York Jets acquired Davante Adams two weeks ago. The veteran still has a lot to give and could be traded to his former team, the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Lions appear to have found their big physical option in Tim Patrick, so the need doesn’t seem too pressing. Still, Williams is an intriguing name.

WR Darius Slayton

Slayton is a player out of a different mold than Williams, but he’s steady and still contributes at a solid clip. At 6-foot-1, he has the ability to be an important player in Ben Johnson’s offense.

The veteran wideout had four catches for 108 yards against the Giants last week Monday, and should be coveted by teams looking for help at wide receiver at the deadline.

TE Daniel Bellinger

Bellinger is another potential option that could be acquired via trade in order to add depth to the Lions tight end cap space. After two good first years of his career, Bellinger only caught three passes this year despite being active for eight games.

WR KJ Osborn

Osborn is a name Lions fans should know from his time in Minnesota with the Vikings. Now with the Patriots, Osborn has just seven catches for 57 yards in six games this season.

Last year, the Lions traded for a Detroit native in Donovan Peoples-Jones. This year, could they add an Ypsilanti native in Osborn? How the current situation involving Jameson Williams develops could be telling until Tuesday.

OL Ben Cleveland

Cleveland would be another option to add depth to the offensive line, particularly on the interior. He hasn’t been able to be a regular contributor for the Baltimore Ravens, but there are ways for him to find his groove with a new team elsewhere.

THE Lions There are veterans inside like Kevin Zeitler and Graham Glasgow, so having reliable insurance in that area will be important as the season progresses.

WR Kendrick Bourne

With the Patriots struggling to win and playing a young quarterback, Bourne could be a coveted asset. Injuries have hampered Bourne the past two seasons, as he played in eight games last year and four so far this year.

If the Lions feel they are still missing something at the wide receiver position, a veteran like Bourne could make a lot of sense to reach out and try to acquire.
