The Detroit Lions All-Pro center Frank Ragnow announced his retirement on Monday, leaving fans with several questions about the team’s future. While the team will surely have a competition to find his on-field replacement during training camp, the financial implications following his retirement are clearer but not yet solidified.
Ragnow was selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and when his rookie contract was nearing its end, he and the Lions agreed to a four-year contract extension, which expanded his contract through the 2026 season.
