This page lists all the 2025 Trades for the Detroit Lions. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the trades. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the trades, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL trades here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

August 2025 – Trades


Jaguars acquire WR Tim Patrick from Lions for 6th-round pick
There was a big trade involving a receiver today. And then, there was this trade, which also involved a receiver, but is far less exciting. Tim Patrick, who played for the Lions last year, will now be on the Jaguars in exchange for a sixth-round pick.

This trade makes sense for both teams. The Jaguars had no depth behind Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter, so Patrick will serve as a reliable No. 3 option for Trevor Lawrence at a relatively low price. The Lions, meanwhile, had to make room for the impressive Isaac TeSlaa to play, so they could afford to move Patrick for a late-round pick.

Grade for Jaguars – B+
Grade for Lions – A-
