Should Lions Explore Trading for Vikings WR Stefon Diggs?

It appears that Vikings WR Stefon Diggs wants out of Minnesota

One of the Lions' primary focuses this offseason could be to add more weapons to an offense that all of a sudden may need to upgrade at wide receiver.

There will be a plethora of options on the free-agent market that could help the Lions, but they could also look to upgrade the position via trade. 

In fact, a star wide receiver appears to be very unhappy with his current team, and may seek a trade out of town.

On Tuesday, Minnesota wide receiver Stefon Diggs caused quite a stir when he suddenly removed all Vikings-related content from his Instagram page. 

I repeat, all of it. 

Diggs has four years remaining on his current deal, and the asking price would be high from the Vikings. 

In 2019, Diggs had 63 receptions for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns. 

He's produced 1,000-plus receiving yards and 15 combined touchdown receptions over the past two seasons in Minnesota.

He has the fifth-most touchdowns (23) in the NFL since 2017, and only DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill and Antonio Brown have caught more in the same timespan.

Making this trade would add a top-tier receiver to pair with Kenny Golladay. 

According to many experts, Diggs displays top-notch route running, and is an explosive playmaker.

Diggs would give Detroit another playmaker on the outside, and he would add an explosive element for Matthew Stafford and the Lions' offense. 

What do you think? 

Comment below if you think Detroit should or should not inquire about wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
