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 and OT Ricky Wagner have agreed in principle on a contract, source said. It will eclipse $9M per year, setting a new 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.
