and it all started by swapping out their franchise QB for draft capital and a "bridge" QB.
Now they have Goff, St. Brown and Sewell locked up. It's all big money, but to keep the core intact is huge (Sewell and St. Brown are absolute studs at their positions as well). With how they have drafted, they can continue to build around having rookie contracts contribute large roles. Funny I've been telling my friends for awhile now," don't sleep on the Lions" after they drafted Sewell.
Wild Card, Division and Championship games and some of Sewell's blocks were incredible....his ability to move downfield and just destroy people! Had me wishing the Giants could find a guy like that...Sewell's just great to watch

YEAH. What having that guarantee at OT does for yah. That line is very good and, I think, the main reason they were able to compete as they did.

ASB got less guaranteed but higher AAV bc WR AAV's are higher than LT)
top WR was hill at $30m.
top LT was Tunsil at $25m so Sewell went +$3m aav over the previous high (huge jump).
