The Detroit Lions offseason game plan seems to be addition by subtraction. Especially in the trenches where football games are won or lost.
This past Friday the Lions released veteran right tackle, Rick Wagner. Unfortunately, in Wagner’s three seasons in Detroit he never lived up to the contract he signed as a free agent back in 2017. However, the move does leave the Lions offensive line with more questions than answers.
Salay-cap moves are not at all uncommon in the NFL and perhaps the $6.1 million they are saving could help general manager Bob Quinn to piece together that winner they have been mandated to field next season.
