Ravens-Lions trade pitch sends Detroit’s $18 million captain to Baltimore
In a surprising move, the Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions have come to an agreement on a trade that will send linebacker Alex Anzalone to Baltimore. Anzalone, one of Dan Campbell’s team captains, has been a key leader on the Lions defense for several seasons. Known for his tenacity on the field and strong work ethic off the field, Anzalone has been a fan favorite in Detroit. However, with the Lions looking to rebuild and the Ravens in need of a veteran presence on defense, the trade makes sense for both teams.
For the Ravens, acquiring Anzalone brings a seasoned linebacker to their defense. With his experience and leadership skills, he will be able to mentor the younger players on the team and help solidify the defense. Anzalone’s ability to read plays and make impactful tackles will be a valuable asset for the Ravens as they look to make a playoff push in the upcoming season. Meanwhile, the Lions will be able to receive draft picks or players in return for Anzalone, helping them in their rebuilding efforts. While it will be tough for Lions fans to see Anzalone go, they can take comfort in knowing that he will continue to be a strong presence in the NFL and will bring his trademark intensity to the Ravens defense. Overall, the trade between the Ravens and Lions is a win-win for both teams and sets the stage for an exciting 2025 NFL season.
