Fans of Detroit Lions have many reasons to buzz over one of the largest stars of the team. The old global choice n ° 2 Aidan Hutchinson, a product of the hometown of the University of Michigan by Plymouth, had a big weekend in the titles of the news.
Aidan Hutchinson provides injury update
First, it seems that Hutchinson approaches a complete return of the tibia and the fractured perony that he suffered six months ago against the Dallas cowboys. Hutchinson shared a brief video from a recent training session where he can be seen on a football field for the first time since the injury.
While Hutchinson has always had some clumsy racing style, the rusher of 6 -inch and 260 pounds passes in the field. It will only be a few months until fans can see him run after opposing the quarter-rear.
Rumors circulate on the potential addition of the rush to Detroit passes
The defense of the Lions must be healthy after a sudden season of 2024 which saw an absurd number of players ending the injured reserve. The offseason can help take care of it. But even at full power, it is not a secret for anyone that one of the most important things on the list of tasks of the director general Brad Holmes is to associate Hutchinson with another elite rusher.
The word through the rumor mill connects to a rusher of pass from the AFC North which would certainly stimulate the rush towards the pass in the city of Motor. But no, it’s not Myles Garrett.
Instead, it is possible that the passer of passes of the Bengals of Cincinnati, Trey Hendrickson, can soon become available via the trade, especially since we get closer to the draft of the NFL later this month. Bleacher Report Kristopher Knox appointed Detroit among five teams that could run to Hendrickson before the end of the draft.
Hendrickson, who is looking for an agreement of around 30 million dollars a year, was probably evaluated in Cincinnati, who invested massively to keep the quarter-Arrière Joe Burrow happy by re-signing the Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins receivers for massive contract extensions.
There is no real indication that lions will Doing such a job, but it is in the context of how they have worked in recent years and responds to a serious team need in a way that cannot be reproduced otherwise. Either the Lions negotiate a star like Hendrickson, or they hope that a late recruit of the first round, at best, will be able to fulfill the role.

What about the extension of the Hutchinson contract?
Hutchinson is also looking for a contract extension, and it seems that he will get it independently of the Rushers Elite Pass market, which has skyrocketed this offseason. Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby, two of the best rushers in the league, have signed massive extensions earlier this offseason, which only increases the price of Hutchinson as a guy who shows the potential to play at their level.
Like the Detroit free newspaperThe Lions do not move away from the massive investment they will soon have to make. Of course, the Hutchinson fifth year option will soon be recovered (Travon WalkerThe only player chosen in front of Hutchinson in the draft of the NFL 2021, has just been granted his today).
However, the Hutchinson contract will probably intervene after the rusher of the passes of the star of the Cowboys of Dallas Micah Parsons signs his next contract, which is sure to correspond, if not to succeed, that of Garrett.
However, the fleas can fall, the Detroit lions will soon have one of the best rushers of healthy game passes, with an increase and (hope) of additional assistance on the ground. It’s a good weekend to be Aidan Hutchinson.
