TRAGEDY: The key player of detriot lions announces his resignation…….
In his third trip through free agency, family and fit meant more to veteran guard Graham Glasgow than anything else.
“I talked to my agent the night before the tampering period went about and you can always see that there’s some interest from other teams even if you’re not talking about money,” Glasgow said Wednesday. “He told me kind of what they offered, and I said I didn’t even really want to wait and see and use other teams offers to maybe go back (to the Lions) and get extra. I kind of just wanted to get it done and have it be done (with Detroit).
“I kind of feel like they put a lot of trust in me and they did good by me and I wanted to come back and do as good as I can by them.”
Glasgow is a perfect fit in Detroit’s offensive line room both from a performance and personality standpoint. That’s one of the closest rooms among the entire team, and Glasgow loves playing for offensive line coach Hank Fraley.
The Lions will now return 4/5 of one of the best offensive lines in football after agreeing to a three-year, $20 million extension with the do-everything interior lineman Glasgow. Left guard Jonah Jackson has reportedly agreed to sign with the Los Angeles Rams.
Originally a third-round pick by the Lions in 2016, Glasgow returned to the team on a one-year deal last spring after spending the previous three seasons with the Denver Broncos. He started games at both guard spots and center last year and was one of the Lions’ most consistent linemen.
