Post Backus to sign 6-year contract
Quote:
The Lions have taken an important step in achieving stability on their offensive line by locking up tackle Jeff Backus, one of the team's most reliable players.

The Lions and Backus beat an important negotiating deadline by one day when Backus agreed to terms on a six-year contract Thursday. Full financial terms were not immediately available, but the deal is worth $15.5 million in guaranteed money in the form of a signing bonus and other financial sources.

The Lions really needed to keep this guy. Finally a good move by Millen, is a sign the world is ending

well its not the 1st good move by Millen...and its not that great of a move either. He is a solid LT though-but he is not a Pro Bowl quality LT.

he is alright, but the lions need to build anywhere on the oline at this point.
