With the trade deadline next Tuesday, players on losing teams are questioning whether they will get moved by next week. That is the case in Detroit, where the Lions are 1–5 entering this weekend.
As a result, TJ Hockenson, who is under contract through 2023, is one player whose name is floating in rumors. However, the tight end said that while he doesn’t want to go anywhere, he isn’t resisting change.
“I love everybody in this locker room. I love being here in Detroit,” Hockenson said, told the Detroit Free Press, via All Lions. “I mean, but more importantly and most importantly I love playing football and so I’m going to have the opportunity to do that and that’s really what my whole role in this entire league is to do is to play football. So as long as I have that opportunity I’m good.”
