Lions defensive tackle Cory Redding has been traded to Seattle for linebacker Julian Peterson.
The Lions also are sending the Seahawks a fifth-round draft choice to complete the deal.
I like the Lions and this a step in the right direction for them. Cory Redding is one of those guys who will fall off and we will never hear from again, while Julian Peterson is a Pro-Bowl linebacker. I love Peterson and he can be an impact player for any team. He obviously can't fix the Lions by himself, but he is a good stepping stone. Also, if I were the Lions, I would pick someone other than Stafford with the first pick.
