BOCA RATON, Fla. -- The Detroit Lions nudged longtime center Dominic Raiola into retirement after the 2014 season, but one year later, they're not totally set on his replacement.
Both coach Jim Caldwell and general manager Bob Quinn indicated at the NFL's annual spring meetings this week that incumbent center Travis Swanson could face competition for the starting spot.
“It’s just like any other position," Quinn said. "It's about competition. So if we find a center, we add a center to the roster that is better than Travis, then that center’s going to play. If Travis is the best center, he’s going to play.
