Jansen is still a very solid lineman. His ability in the run game and his 10 years experience are nice to have on any NFL team. At the very least he brings solid depth behind Cherilus and possibly a move to guard. His pass protection isnt what it used to be but any player who is going into his 11th NFL season will not be as good as he use to be in pass protection.

I believe the Lions just got a very solid lineman who brings leadership and knowledge to a team that probably needs all they can get after not winning a game last season. I think Jansen will have a rebound season in Detroit as he tries to prove to the Redskins who released him and the Lions who signed him that he can still play at a high level.
