Hope he makes it as a backup. Guys played 1 full nfl season total over the last 8 years due to health. Can imagine he’d suddenly knock out a nfl season as an actual player. Best o luck

Another great story. Man, I lover reading up on these lesser known players. I remember hearing good things about him early on but had completely forgotten about him after the injury. Keep up the great work Justin!

The Lions are in good shape with the cap. Why would Zeitler be a cap issue? At his age/talent wouldn’t he be a bargain?

It seems like re-signing Zeitler should be a priority if he doesn't retire. Cap space shouldn't be of much issue in 2025, and he has a reasonable contract this season.

If anything, I wonder if Glasgow is the guard most likely to be displaced. He seems to have really struggled this year with pass blocking and is one of the main culprits for why the team is only mediocre at preventing pass pressures on Goff. It also seems like IOL could be one of the main priorities in the draft with one of their early round picks and the draft should be pretty deep there.
