If things all go according to plan later today, Ravens right tackle Rick Wagner is expected to reset the market at the right tackle position, as the Lions are reportedly planning on signing him to a deal that will pay him around $9 million per season. That is more than $2 million per year more than the next-highest right tackle.
It kind of makes you wonder what Pittsburgh Steelers right tackle Marcus Gilbert is thinking right about now. While I have no doubt that he was content with the contract that he signed during training camp in 2016, it looks like a hill of beans in comparison to this market reset.
