I would argue that Lang and Wagner give the Lions the best O-line in the division and one of the best ones in the NFC. It is also a very young O-line, so even if Lang regresses in a couple years, they will only have to replace one position on the line.
I just said I'll miss him, but I wouldn't have paid him that much. Guards are perhaps the most replaceable position on any team. I think it'll be a decent pickup for the Lions but I also think it would have been a mistake for the Packers to pay what it would have taken to keep him in GB.

Tretter wasn't a starter; he was Corey Linsley's backup and just was forced into playing a bit last year because of injuries. He's a good young player but often injured and would have cost too much to stay on in a depth capacity.
We're returning four of our five starters and have one of the better backups in the game in Jason Spriggs, who could potentially play guard or just continue filling a depth role. The Packers' offensive line is going to be just fine. It's the defense that concerns me.
