1. Would the Chicago Bears trade Jaylon Johnson to the Detroit Lions?

The only thing stopping this from being a clean fit is the division that these two teams play in. Can Ryan Poles live it down if the Chicago Bears trade Jaylon Johnson to the Detroit Lions, and he shuts them down twice per year? We know the Lions are not afraid to do this after they added T.J. Hockenson from the Minnesota Vikings.

The Lions have to see the division wide open for them. Kirk Cousins is hurt, and the Packers and Bears have played themselves out of the division already. It is easy to see the Lions cruise into the playoffs. Still, they have to improve their roster by then. They lost Emmanuel Mosley on the outside, and they have been relying on Jerry Jacobs. Still, their plan all offseason was to add Mosley and Cam Sutton to make sure they did not have to start Jacobs when the big moments came.

The Lions have the biggest need for a cornerback, and it is glaring. They also have the cleanest path to knowing they are in the playoffs, and that any trade will improve their chances to win the Super Bowl. Will Ryan Poles let this happen?
