This Detroit Radio Guy's Khalil Mack Lions Rumor Is Juicy [UPDATE]

We’ve been going around in circles for weeks about Khalil Mack trade rumors, which require three things: 1) The Raiders’ willingness to move on from him, 2) An acceptable trade package worthy of the linebacker, and 3) Agreement on a new contract, which is why Mack is possibly on the block in the first place.

With all that being said, Detroit 97.1 The Ticket personality Dan Leach, who co-hosts a show from 2-6 a.m., dropped this tweet a couple hours ago:

Just heard from a Metro Detroit limo driver that he just picked up Raiders LB Khalil Mack and he is going to meet with #Lions GM Bob Quinn Monday. Stay tuned.......

Could be something, could be nothing? Time shall tell if there is any merit. If it somehow winds up being true, it’d be a helluva scoop. Or, maybe he’s wrong. Or, I’m not familiar with the guy, and maybe he made it up to get a rise out of people? Idk.

The Lions could obviously use a linebacker of Mack’s stature, but what would be the trade and contract costs?

UPDATE: A Lions beat writer for mlive.com says this is much ado about nothing:

There is nothing to the Khalil Mack-to-Detroit rumors.
