Allen Park — Dan Skipper, maybe the most famous swing tackle in the league, has agreed to accept a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions, according to NFL Network.
The journeyman offensive lineman has been cut more than 20 times in his seven-year career, which has brought him from Dallas to Denver, New England, Houston, Las Vegas, Indianapolis, and, of course, Detroit three times.
Skipper, on the other hand, has finally found some traction with the Lions, establishing himself as a dependable swing tackle under Dan Campbell.
