I have made it very clear that Detroit Lions OL Graham Glasgow is one of my favorites and I have made it even more clear that one of Bob Quinn‘s biggest mistakes as GM was not signing Glasgow to an extension prior to the 2019 season.

Though Glasgow is still technically a Lion until Wednesday, everything he has said has made it sound like he is going to test the free-agent market as soon as the 2020 NFL league year officially begins.
So, how will the Lions relace Glasgow?
Many fans have expressed that they wanted the Lions to spend big on Patriots OG Joe Thuney to replace Glasgow but news just broke that the Pats are using the franchise tag on him.
I believe they should take a long, hard look at New England Patriots potential free agent OL, Ted Karras.

Karras?
That’s right, Patriots’ IOL Ted Karras is the nephew of former Detroit Lions great, Alex Karras, who played for the Lions from 1958-1970 (missed 1963 for gambling suspension).
Ted Karras started all 15 games he played in for the Patriots in 2019 and he will certainly come cheaper than Glasgow, who will likely land a contract worth north of $10 million per season.
Though I will not be thrilled to see the Lions move on from a good/versatile player like Glasgow, it sure would be cool to see a Karras back in the Honolulu blue and silver!
