Lions mailbag: How does Frank Ragnow’s retirement impact future re-signings?

One of the bigger challenges facing the Detroit Lions in the upcoming years is the ability to retain all of the talent they currently have. General Manager Brad Holmes has talked about this issue several times over the past year, noting that difficult decisions are headed his way. Detroit has been able to find success through the draft, cashing in on cheap rookie contracts for big production on the field. However, that bill is coming soon for many of those players—and for the likes of Penei Sewell, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Alim McNeill, Derrick Barnes, and Kerby Joseph, their paydays have already arrived.
