Why didn't Rob Sims accept the contract offer he received from the Detroit Lions before the draft? He explained his thinking in a recent interview.
Back in April, when the Detroit Lions' depth chart at left guard was completely vacant, the team put out a contract offer to Rob Sims. When free agency first began in March, it looked like the Lions were more interested in adding Justin Blalock, but nothing ever came of that. (Blalock actually just retired on Monday.) As a result, they turned their attention back to Sims, but nothing ever came of that as well.
