The world is totally misreading something Lions head coach Dan Campbell said and did on Monday and it's not the first time he's done this
It's NFL trade deadline season, that means we've reached that part of the season where every little thing means something.

It's NFL trade deadline season, that means we've reached that part of the season where every little thing means something. It's the opposite of draft season where everything means nothing and it's all just a smoke screen.
