INDIANAPOLIS – Lions general manager Bob Quinn knows the importance of having veteran leadership upfront along the offensive line, especially with the two most senior members of his line – right tackle Riley Reiff and right guard Larry Warford – potentially headed to free agency.
“It’s very important,” Quinn told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine. “You can’t have all rookies and second-year players in your offensive line. I think that’s something that’s a philosophy of mine. You can’t go too young.
“In terms of our two guys (Reiff and Warford), we’ve had discussions with both of them – don’t have anything to announce today, but we’re working towards that.
