Busy Monday 

 

I’m guessing this was a conversation had in January and he had the option to retire in lieu of being released but declined.

Perhaps someone will want him after their linemen suffer injuries

Someone I'd be interested in if ...

He's healthy next year:

Joe Mixon.

I'm not familiar enough with the cap rules, but I wonder if the team and Glasgow came to some sort of an  agreement prior today's announcement. 

Would a buyout affect the cap?

Twitter being Twitter—half see this move as a positive given the reasons stated here.  The others think this is the worst move ever with the Lions not getting nearly enough in return.

i dont see how anyone doesnt see that as a great trade for detroit.  every "trade ranking" post ive seen have given the lions an A or A+ for that trade and the texans a D.  detroit got great value.

People who don't like the trade don't like it for sentimental reasons.

glasgow was bad last year.  he's done.  there is no need to bring him back on any type of deal.

football is a young man's game.  time to retire for graham.  he had a great career and got paid.  go fish with ragnow and enjoy your life.

i have a lot of reservations for decker for the same reason.  i think he's likely done.  better to retire before the game retires you.  but i hope i'm wrong.

same folks who were mad when they let jamal williams walk.

It's better to move on from a player a year early than a year late. I think Montgomery has at least one good year in him. You see with Glasgow they moved on a year late. 

[Motown Bombers]

I'd also put Anzalone in the category of moving on a year early.

I hate to see Montgomery go but I get it from a business standpoint. He's a 29 year old running back with a lot of tread on the tires and he seemed unhappy. To get a 4th+developmental center+7th is nice work by Holmes but I loved Monty so it sucks from that standpoint. Same thing with Glasgow but that was much more of a no brainer.

I'll be interested to see if the Lions restructure some contracts now, looking at you Goff, to clear more cap space because there are quite a few needs and a lot more question marks going into this season than there has been in a long time.
