Quinn promised to fix the offensive line when he was hired last year, and promised to fix the running game this offseason. With the additions of Wagner and Lang, plus Decker -- who was one of the top rookie offensive linemen in the league last year -- he has put his money where his mouth is.

Lang is coming off a hip injury that held him out of three games last year, which was a factor in his free-agent process. But he's expected to be at full strength by the start of training camp.

Last year, Lang missed the Packers' off-season program after shoulder surgery, and still had arguably the best season of his career.
"And that was even with a bad hip, so I just really made it clear that this is the first year probably in three or four seasons that I?ll be going into training camp feeling really, really good and I?m really excited about that because I?ve always had something," Lang said.
"This year, I got the shoulder fixed, I got the hip fixed, we?re going to be going full throttle and I really think that teams believe me on that and really it wasn?t much of a factor, as big of a factor as I thought it was going to be."

The Lions have finished upgrading their offensive line by signing Pro Bowl offensive guard T.J. Lang to a three-year deal.
This is a massive signing for the Lions and gives Bob Quinn an excellent chance to upgrade his running game.
The Lions' two biggest free agent signings came on the offensive line, likely meaning defense is going to be a heavy priority in the draft.
Also, this will put more pressure on former first round pick Laken Tomlinson, who is likely competing for the No. 3 guard spot now.

Lang is a former Pro Bowl guard who comes in and immediately fills the hole left by Larry Warford?s departure in free agency.
Lang graded out as the eighth-best guard in the NFL in 2016, much higher than Warford?s 20th ranking.
