DETROIT — The Detroit Lions are serious about building one of the NFL's best offensive lines — and keeping it together for years to come.
The Lions agreed to a four-year contract extension with center Frank Ragnow on Thursday that should keep him in Detroit through the 2026 NFL season.
NFL Network reported the deal is worth $13.5 million per season, which makes Ragnow the highest-paid center in the NFL, and includes $42 million in guarantees.
The Lions took Oregon offensive tackle Penei Sewell with the seventh pick of last week's draft, when general manager Brad Holmes told the Free Press he wanted to build a "beast" up front.
