Kerin was added to the roster (2017) just days after the Detroit Lions cut down their roster to 53 men
In his two previous years with the Vikings, Kerin did not start a single game, but made 13 separate game appearances as a backup
Actual role in 2017
2017 stats: 1 game (1 start)
PFF Grade: 39.9 (Not enough to qualify for ranking)
Kerin didn’t have to wait long before getting a chance to play. Just three weeks after joining Detroit, Kerin earned a starting role against the Atlanta Falcons while Travis Swanson and Joe Dahl sat with injuries.
It... did not go well. According to Pro Football Focus, Kerin allowed four pressures in the game and came out with a horrible 35.5 run blocking grade. To make matters worse, Kerin was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury just six days after the game.
Outlook for 2017
Contract status: Restricted free agent
It’s highly unlikely the Lions throw Kerin a tender offer this offseason. The 26-year-old guard didn’t have much of any opportunities in 2017, but in his one shot, he was a big liability. Link - ( New Window )
The bottom of this roster is not good. I'm dreading all of the roster moves this team is going to be making in July, August, and September... they are going to keep me busy.
I think they will continue at this pace, especially after cut downs to 53. I can't see how they won't be adding at least 2 players to the 53 from other teams cut downs.

That's a good thought. When teams have to get their rosters down to regular season size, we may pick up some good depth.

,....which, I'm sure, ' contributed ' to our 3-13.
We all knew this was a 2-3 offseason challenge,after that illustrious record; let's just be patient(,especially old me)....it took 8 years of the Reese-Ross duo to get to this level.
The bottom of the roster guys who survive the preseason, especially Â

I am not, I am hopeful a decent C comes available.

This is how competitive teams stay competitive.

100% agree. low risk move
It was/is a two offseason project at a minimum, and there will be upgrades/changes needed beyond that too.
