The Detroit Lions kicked off the NFL's legal tampering period by releasing veteran left tackle Taylor Decker after 10 seasons with the team. Decker started 140 regular season games and helped the Lions to 3 playoff runs and two division titles. Earlier this week, Decker announced he requested his release following talks with the team over his salary. He had planned to return for an 11th year, but said they couldn't agree on terms. Decker shared a heartfelt message on social media, calling his time in Detroit a privilege and thanking the organization and fans for the opportunity. Fans have mixed feelings, with many expressing gratitude for his contributions while others understand the business side. The move frees up $11.6 million in cap space for the Lions in 2026, though it adds $9.4 million in dead. Money that year. It's a clear sign Detroit is reshaping its offensive line. Meanwhile, the Lions wasted no time in free agency, signing former Carolina Panther Center,
Cade Mays, to a 3-year deal worth $25 million. Dollars with $14 million guaranteed. They also added offensive tackle, Larry Borm, who brings 63 games and 38 starts from his stints with the Bears and Dolphins. Special thanks to our sponsor for supporting this episode.
