still stuck with Aaron Glenn. only reason he gets interviews is the rooney rule. he's garbage.
I think he really had some great schemes second half of the year. He called some great well timed blitzes. They really need some more help especially on DL and the secondary.

So given that Jonah will cost a lot more and probably demand a longer term deal, who would you rather keep between him and Glasgow? I think Jonah will be harder to replace and is 5 years younger, but Glasgow's versatility is invaluable.
I think the only guy who's contract expires after this season I look to extend early is St. Brown. Maybe McNiell.

It’s hard because I think Jonah can do things that Glasgow can’t. Some of the pulling and stuff he does in the run game is tough to replace. That said, he was beat up this year and had a couple rough games. I also still think some team will be willing to give him a big contract.
I think you give Glasgow a 2-3 year deal, because that Penei deal is coming and that’s gonna be a monster one. Unless they think they can stagger the money right with Jonah’s deal, with Decker’s deal getting towards the back end and who knows how much longer Ragnow is gonna keep doing it.

This also depends on the development of Sorsdal as well. I really like Jackson, but he does display mental lapses at times, and has had trouble staying healthy the past two years (missed 4 games in 2022 and 5 games in 2023). If Jackson is willing to give a hometown discount, which could actually be a real thing these days for the first time ever, then bring him back. If he's looking to get paid like a top 10 OG, I'd let some other team pay him.
Glasgow's versatility and durability (played in all 17 games over the past two seasons) at likely a much cheaper rate than Jackson is going to get makes him a higher value, imo.

They really need another OG, I would not be shocked if they drafted another OL somewhere earlier in the draft. Sorsdoll I don't see him as anything special.
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (20) OFFENSE Teddy Bridgewater - QB - No-Retired Nate Sudfeld - QB - No-Hooker is now #2 Josh Reynolds - WR - Maybe-quality depth if the price is right Donovan Peoples-Jones - WR - Same as Reynolds Anthony Firkser - TE - No-provided some quality depth, but JAG Graham Glasgow - G - Yes-versatility Jonah Jackson - G - Maybe-if the price is right Halapoulivaati Vaitai - G - No-back problems never go away Matt Nelson - T - Maybe-quality depth if the price is right Dan Skipper - T - Yes-should be relatively affordable depth DEFENSE Romeo Okwara - DE - No-never performed to his draft position Charles Harris - DL - No-Lions can find better veteran depth Tyson Alualu - DL - No-getting very long in the tooth (14 years) Jalen Reeves-Maybin - LB - Yes-ST leader and quality depth at LB Emmanuel Moseley - CB - No-not sure if he will ever play again Will Harris - CB - Yes-quality depth and high ST value Kindle Vildor - CB - Yes-should be affordable and provides quality depth C.J. Gardner-Johnson - S - No-someone else will be willing to pay him, and our depth at S and the growth of the team means we don't need his veteran "leadership". SPECIAL TEAMS Michael Badgley - K - No-would love to see the Lions draft the kicker out of Alabama in the 4th(ish) round. Strong leg with big game experience. Either way, this position needs upgrading. Jake McQuaide - LS - No-13 year vet could be brought back for camp to compete for the role
RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (6) Brock Wright - TE - Yes-great in the run game, with reliable hands for limited targets Benito Jones - DT - Yes-space eater that provides quality depth on the DL Anthony Pittman - LB - Yes-ST value Khalil Dorsey CB - Yes-good CB depth with KR capability and excellent ST value Jerry Jacobs - CB - Yes-quality CB depth with starting experience, better suited to nickel work Scott Daly - LS - Yes-depending on health of his knee EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS (6) Craig Reynolds - RB - Yes-tough runner with ST value. The block against Tampa is worthy of a contract on its own Zonovan Knight - RB - No-better options for RB#3/4 in the draft or free agency Shane Zylstra - TE - Maybe-could provide quality depth. Missing the entire 2023 season makes him hard to gauge Kayode Awosika - G - Yes-good depth, allowing only 1 sack and only 1 penalty in 17 games played James Houston - LB - Yes-quality pass rushers are hard to find Chase Lucas - CB - Yes-quality ST player

There's 3 decent C's in this draft, get one that can also play OG. In this draft it would be Powers-Johnson first, then take your pick of Zach Frazier and Sed Van Pran. Frazier might not be 100% for the combine or his pro day but he's an animal worth looking at.
i would go with a couple guards. glasgow can play center. ragnow isnt retiring so a top tier center isnt a need right now. we have 2.
A guy that can crossover like Dane talked about would be ideal though. Glasgow is gonna be 32 and Frank may not be retiring this year, but who knows how much longer he’ll stick around.
