Pro Bowl guard T.J. Lang reportedly received a three-year, $28.5 million deal from the Detroit Lions over the weekend.
As many Seattle Seahawks fans lament losing out on Lang, it's fair to wonder: How close was the team to landing him?
In a 710 ESPN Seattle column, John Clayton reports that the Seahawks offered Lang $8 million per year ($1.5 million less annually than the Lions). So Lang had a couple factors pulling him toward Detroit. One was that the Lions were offering him the most money.
