The Detroit Lions will keep guard Graham Glasgow on their offensive line after the two parties agreed to a three-year agreement, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
“Lions are re-signing guard Graham Glasgow to a 3-year, $20 million deal that includes $9.5 million guaranteed, per source.”
Glasgow was set to enter NFL free agency this year, but the Lions finally elected to keep him on the roster as part of Jared Goff’s protection unit. The Lions signed Glasgow to a one-year contract worth $2.75 million in 2023, less than a week after he was released by the Denver Broncos.
Glasgow began his NFL career with the Detroit Lions, who selected him in the third round (95th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the Lions before signing a four-year contract with the Broncos in 2020.
The 31-year-old Glasgow, who played college football for the Michigan Wolverines, was one of the finest players on the Lions’ offensive line in 2023, earning a 75.1 overall rating from Pro Football Focus. He also received a rating of 56.2 for pass blocking and 82.1 for run blocking. Glasgow started 15 of 17 games that year, accounting for 90 percent of offensive snaps and 16 percent of special teams snaps. He had four penalties, including a holding and a number of false starts.
In 2023, the Lions ranked fourth in the league with an offensive sack rate of 5.03 percent and fifth in running yards per carry (4.6).
