Your Madden ranking crack me up every time you post them. I know they do their research but I would trust PFF before Madden.

Teams and players can not "negotiate". Teams are allowed to submit an offer to a free agent. The free agent is allowed to accept or deny, but not discuss a counter offer.

Teams cannot make any details of the deal public, nor can agents.

Neither can sign officially until 4pm EST tomorrow.

The rules make zero sense, but them's what they are. And it always ends up in the public early. Always.

Complete upgrade over Reiff. Only thing that worries me is that Wagner is a "he's good every other yrs player". One yr he's great then the next he's not...lol. Still like the signing though.

Sounds like that have negotiated..

Lions agreed to terms with RT Rick Wagner on a multi-year deal worth in excess of $9 million annually.

Officially, both sides will say the team submitted a proposal, and the player accepted. No negotiations involved.

Everyone knows it's bullshit, but that's the "story".

Should the Detroit Lions move on from starting right tackle Rick Wagner?

If you gave me the choice between overpaying for Reiff, Warford, or Wagner...I take Wagner. Not going to complain, we have young talent (not filler, but talent) at both ends on the offensive line locked up for a few years. Can't remember the last time I said that.
