Detroit Lions general manager Frank Ragnow stated he needs some time to “figure everything out” this offseason, and they are ready to give it to him.
After Pro Bowl center Josh Ragnow revealed last week that he was thinking about his future, Lions general manager Brad Holmes indicated on Monday that he won’t pressure Ragnow into making a decision about playing in 2024.
“I’m just respectful of his time and his thoughts because I have so much respect for him and everything that he goes through and fights through,” Holmes stated on Monday at his season-ending news conference. “We’re not going to pressure him to do anything or make any moves, but the communication will be diligent, it’ll be thorough, it’ll be respectful.”
Ragnow never mentioned retirement as a possibility, but he left many wondering how many years he has left after he made cryptic comments during locker clean out after the Lions’ NFC championship game loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
