With Browns guard Wyatt Teller announcing he will not be returning to Cleveland next season, could the Detroit Lions be interested in extending an offer to the pending unrestricted free-agent Pro Bowler next season?
According to ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter, Teller made the announcement on Feb. 18 via his Instagram that he would not be part of the Browns organization next season and that he would sign elsewhere.

With the Lions in need of a quick fix to their depth at the guard position on the offensive line, with Taylor Decker's future still unclear, adding Teller would immediately make an impact for head coach Dan Campbell and new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing.
Specifically, Teller has been known for exceptional run-blocking skills, which would immediately help open the Motor City running game. However, if the Lions were to acquire Teller, it could require Tate Ratlidge to move to either center or right guard.
Given Spotrac's estimate of his market value at approximately $10.2 million per year, he could be one of the high-impact signings that general manager Brad Holmes will likely seek in March if Detroit can fit him into their salary cap configurations.
