Yahoo Sports NFL on Sam LaPorta
From the article
I'm not so sure the Lions are even remotely interested in trading him off. He has been a productive player for them, but the nagging injury history is a concern. They are still in the thick of it in a tight NFC North battle, so I don't even think he is a realistic option for Denver.
STACKED’s take
LaPorta unlikely target; injury history, learning curve, and Lions' playoff push make trade unrealistic.
The source expresses skepticism about Sam LaPorta as a trade target for Denver, citing multiple concerns: the Lions are unlikely to trade him as they are competing in a tight NFC North race and he has been productive for them; his nagging injury history is a concern; acquiring him would require extending him since he is in the final year of his rookie contract; and the source questions whether he could quickly learn Sean Payton's offense, develop chemistry with Bo Nix, and become a frequent target. The source concludes that investing a top draft pick to address tight end needs would be preferable to pursuing a mid-season trade acquisition.
