Lions News: Detroit Talking With Rob Sims About Return, Won't Comment On Justin Blalock

Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew has given an indication that the team's offensive line won't undergo as much of a change as many thought it would, saying that the team is currently in talks with guard Rob Sims about a return in 2015.

"We've been in contact with Rob, and have had some dialogue with him about a contract," Mayhew told Lions beat writers on Monday at the NFL owners' meetings in Phoenix.

The Lions brought Atlanta Falcons free-agent guard Justin Blalock for a visit earlier during free agency, but nothing has come of that as of yet.

As Kyle Meinke of MLive.com added in a report on Monday night, "Mayhew would not comment on whether Blalock is still an option, though engaging Sims about a return would seem to suggest Detroit does not expect to land a meaningful free agent at the position."

If that's the case, the Lions will still have the 2015 NFL Draft to target a potential replacement for Sims in 2015 and/or beyond.
