Thanks for posting Glasgowās media session. I donāt remember any personality beforeāPatricia sure didnāt allow access like the BNLābut Glasgow is hilarious in a deadpan way and itās clear he fits the culture.
I thought his answer about competing for starting spot was interesting. He said heās competed for one before and was planning to do that again and then started tiptoeing around a bit like maybe he knew something about Big Vās situation that he didnāt want to let out. Just the vibe I got.
Yeah, take that Panthers!!!
Itās pretty sad that I had that thought as well. FTP.
It was a very disjointed PC to be honest.
You can tell he sure isnāt a big fan of being in front of the camera. Think he forgot the question like 4-5 times.
He hasnāt missed a step then. Heād forget plays 4 or 5 times a game, which is why I was perfectly contented by his leaving.
I remember his introductory press conference, and Killebrewās too, where they both were perfectly comfortable in front of the camera. Paula and few of the beat writers commented on both of their personalities. I think buddyās suffering from jet-lag or something. What a hot mess.
He was forgetting a lot of the questions on purpose IMOā¦ dude is pretty funny, he always has been going back to his Mich daysā¦ when he gets a question he doesnāt like he plays dumb, and speaks in riddles. He aint dumb, nfl centers aint dumb.
Reminds me of Coach Campbell to be honest. Heās planning to be the starting right guard next year, but he canāt say that, or it upsets people and gives things away before the draft.
GG is playing the game!
He said he considered San Fran and Carolina, too. Did we just beat Carolina at something or is the joke going to be on us?
If Frank, Decker and Hank all wanted him back, Iām all in! they know
And the deal is cheap as heck! Love it to be honest!
I honestly donāt mind that heās back. Heās a well-paid backup and we need one.
OTC has the contract details now.
Cap hit this year is $2.2m, with a void year hit of $1.5m in 2024.
Also (from OTC):
āGraham Glasgow signed a one year, $2.75 million contract with the Lions of which $2.5 million is guaranteed. There are certain portions of the contract that are prorated due to NFL rules. There is a void year in 2024 for cap purposes.ā
@DeadStroke what does this mean?! The base salary and prorated bonuses add up to $4.5m, but total cap charges are $3.7m, what magic has Holmes done this time?
First off, I am pretty sure Jason got this contract a couple days ago, now I know why he didnāt enter it right away. Iāve started tweeting out the signings on twitter, this is what I wrote up about it.

I donāt have the contract, I donāt even have the details of the contract, I only have Jasonās interpretation of the details of the contract. But I think that there is an injury guarantee for the Likely To Be Earned (LTBE) incentives, that for cap purposes, are Other Amounts Treated as Signing Bonus (OATSB). I think Jason has a small error in his calculation, but itās too small to worry about.
Jason knows more about valuation of player contracts than I do, so it may be some other reason, but thatās my guess on why Jason interpreted the contract the way he did. I will be really interested as to what Spotrac does with Glasgowās contract when they steal Jasonās interpretation.
Didnāt realize you were on twitter, just followed you.
Been on twitter since 2009, never posted anything useful until this year. Always just followed reporters for NFL.
Now that Big V has restructured his deal. Should have a good battle for that starting right guard spot.
From interviews it definitely sounds like Graham sees this as a competition.
And it should be. Big V hasnāt played a down since 2021. Might even have a rookie guard in that competition as well.
