Detroit Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker has asked the team to release him after saying late last month he plans to return for an 11th season rather than retire. Decker posted Friday on Instagram that he is “opting for a clean and amicable close” to a “beautiful 10 years” with the Lions. The 32-year-old Decker has started 140 games for the Lions and made the Pro Bowl in 2024. He endured a shoulder injury for much of last year and acknowledged after the season that he was considering retirement. Detroit finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2022.
