From the episode

They didn't even use Laporta last two weeks. I'm just saying, like, again, if you could get an elite defensive player, would you trade Sam Laporta to do that?

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

LaPorta unused in last two weeks despite elite status; role clarity uncertain.

Welsh notes LaPorta wasn't used in the Lions' last two weeks, raising questions about his role despite being an elite offensive weapon. The discussion centers on whether the Lions would trade him for an elite defensive player to address their depleted defense, though Welsh emphasizes they won't actually make such a move. LaPorta is described as a young player who provides value in both the passing game and run game, but his recent lack of usage suggests potential role uncertainty.
