The decision the new Lions brass makes on what to offer Romeo Okwara, contract wise, likely will be how Okwara projects in the type of Defensive System that Aaron Glenn will be Coordinating. It's almost certainly going to be a more aggressive system.. In essence, even factoring in Okwara's production in 2020, how much more productive would he have been if the Lions were in a one gap attack mode more often?
I would like Romeo Okwara to return if the contract doesn't reflect an elite edge rusher like what Khalil Mack can provide the Bears or relatively close to that. As good as Okwara was production wise as a pass rusher in the 2020 season, it wasn't until much later in the season that he was double teamed ( including chip block help ) much more often.
My guess is that if offers are close, Romeo Okwara will re-sign with the Lions, as he would then continue to play with his promising younger brother, Julian Okwara.
I continue to believe that Kenny Golladay is more likely to have the Franchise Tag placed on him, compared to Romeo Okwara. With Okwara more likely to remain with the Lions when the dust settles.
