Ricky Wagner

The Detriot Lions made a keen choice in agreeing in principle with former Baltimore Ravens right tackle Ricky Wagner.

Per PFF, Wagner was the third-highest RT set to hit free agency. However, with a PFF grade of 84.7 and being only 27 years old Wagner was easily the best RT value on the market.

The Lions already have an excellent blind-side tackle in Taylor Decker. Now, they have two bookend QB defenders to keep QB Mathew Stafford upright long enough to use that cannon of an arm.

A. Ricky Wagner is a right tackle free-agent acquisition that will greatly enhance the offensive line of the Detroit Lions which will provide QB Matthew Stafford more time to throw from the pocket.. RT. Detriot Lions. RICKY WAGNER
