Seahawks G Rob Sims has long been rumored to be on the trading block and on Monday those rumors came to fruition.
Seahawks Trade Rob Sims To The Lions For A Fifth Round Pick
The Seawhawks shipped Sims off to the Lions.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Lions will give the Seahawks a fifth round pick for Sims’ services.
Sims, a restricted free agent, was tendered at the fourth round level. He signed his tender last week and we predicted that likely meant he was being dealt for less than a fourth round pick.
SB Nation’s Pride of Detroit is predicting that Sims will be plugged in as the starter at left guard.
No word yet on the compensation, but it looks like the Lions have now found their starting left guard. With Dominic Raiola penciled in at center, Stephen Peterman set to return from injury to start at right guard, and no indication that Jeff Backus or Gosder Cherilus are going anywhere, it looks like the Lions’ starting offensive line may now be set.
