OT: Lions C Ragnow Retires

[bamainatlanta]

He knows they won’t win it all this year so he decided to give up. Makes sense to me.

I thought this was a troll thread for a second, but holy shit! What's with the Lions and their ability to inspire top-level players to retire early?

One of the most important pieces of the Detroit Lions' vaunted offensive line is hanging up the cleats.

I am really curious if this Lions team will be able to compete for the division title. With all this change and their schedule, they may have some trouble.

 

[DC]

Lions sure have a curious way of doing this to their players. Simply uncanny.

 

[Aquineas]

Tough dude hanging up his cleats while he can still lift them. I don't blame him. Be a shame if Detroit didn't have a solid replacement, but I am certain they wouldn't do that.

 

[Nelly]

For refence, Ragnow is 29 years old and played 7 seasons, one of which was shortened to 4 games.

Probably had a local creep steal his fish

They were talking about him on talk radio this morning he was holding out for new contract then this dropped. He has no guarantees left on his deal and played through injuries and got ghosted by front office

Does this put @nc0gnet0 on suicide watch?

What a shocker. Many more dominoes will fall from the “Dynasty” known as the 2023-2024 Detroit Lions.

He’s going to take it out on his fish

They had a magnificent run of year over year success at the highest level we should all hope to achieve one day. They truly set the standard for what every NFC North team should strive for moving forward.

 

[Noonthirtyjoe]

Great player. Was why mentioned?

 

[remydat]

So while @nc0gnet0 and @hyatt151 were worrying about Caleb not wanting to play for the Bears prior to meeting them, Ragnow says **** playing without Johnson and retires.

 

[sevvy]

Props to Ragnow for being diplomatic and not saying all the things he wants to say. Like how the fanbase and city are a cesspool full of disgusting losers. He really sold the "gratitude". Glad he's escaping Detroit.

doink....doink

I hope so

Lots of different injuries over the years.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Can't imagine not wanting to play for a city with such historical cultural significance as Kid Rock and the Insane Clown Posse.

Cross training their 2nd round OG Tate at center.
