The NFL’s trade deadline brought a big trade within the NFC North: According to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Detroit Lions are sending tight end T.J. Hockenson to the Minnesota Vikings before playing the Green Bay Packers in Week 9.
Hockenson was the ninth overall pick in the 2019 draft and a 2020 Pro Bowler. He’ll go to Minnesota where the Vikings are 6-1 and in possession of a dominant lead in the NFC North after eight weeks.
