An unexpected retirement makes Lions' weirdest offseason move even weirder

The Detroit Lions are finally getting a full picture of their starting offensive line ahead of the 2025 season, with the starting rotation looking like Penei Sewell, Tate Ratledge, Christian Mahogany, Graham Glasgow, and Taylor Decker. It's a solid lineup, and one that's bounced back nicely from the retirement of center Frank Ragnow.

One departure from the starting line that still feels like a bit of a whiff for the Lions' front office, though, is letting Kevin Zeitler walk in free agency. The team clearly wanted to give Mahogany more of a shot on the starting line, which meant Zeitler had to be sacrificed.
