Detroit Lions' longtime tackle Taylor Decker requests release after 10 seasons, citing unresolved talks with the team.

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker, the team's longest-tenured player and a 2016 first-round draft pick, has requested his release after initially announcing he would return for an 11th season. Decker, 32, cited unresolved discussions with the organization as the reason for his decision, despite having started 145 games, earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2024, and played through a shoulder injury. His departure marks the end of a decade-long tenure during which he helped the Lions achieve multiple playoff appearances and division titles. The team has not publicly commented on the request.
