This offseason will bring challenging decisions for the Lions, who want to re-sign the veteran guard.
ALLEN PARK — Graham Glasgow has indicated that he would like to run it again. The offensive guard has also been informed by the Detroit Lions that they want to have him back. After Glasgow’s recent campaign, it makes sense.
However, Glasgow is aware that this is the NFL and that he has little control over it as he prepares for a difficult offseason. However, Glasgow might be the team’s first priority due to his flexibility and possible long-term cost.
Indeed. I wish I could return here. Glasgow stated earlier this week in the locker room, “It’s up to them.” I mean, this place is full with my pals. The squad has been like that, and I’ve met a lot of new friends even in the last year. I truly feel like I fit in with this society.
“They would prefer that I return.” All in all, this is the unpleasant commercial side of being a professional football player. We’ll see, then.
Glasgow, 31, signed a one-year contract in free agency and began at every interior offensive line position. And that’s quite the accomplishment given that Halapoulivaati Vaitai defeated him in a camp competition for the starting guard position. As if that weren’t enough, Glasgow excelled at every turn, developing into one of the most significant players during this franchise’s illustrious era.
According to Pro Football Focus, Glasgow finished both the regular season and the playoffs as the ninth-best guard in the league. It was not a simple chore for Glasgow to play 998 snaps at right guard, 189 at center, and another 75 on the left side. Additionally, he was among the top five run blockers at his position, which contributed to the analytics website’s good ratings.
Even with the outcome of the game yesterday (NFC title game), this season was pretty successful,” Glasgow said. “Successful season, you know, we won a lot of games. It’s a shame that things ended the way that they did. But it just happens, one team is only happy at the end of the year, unfortunately.”
