(WXYZ) — Changes are still underway for the Detroit Lions, with the latest coming from Taylor Decker, who has requested his release from the team.
Decker announced the move on Instagram, saying:
Things change, 145 games started, 3 playoff appearances, 2 division titles, a decade carrying the shield. I fully intended to do it once again, but my time as a Lion is coming to an end. In the weeks since notifying the team of my return there have been numerous discussions. Many of which were a surprise to me, and we could not find common ground. Therefore I decided to request my release.
I am opting for a clean and amicable close to what has been such a beautiful 10 years going to war as a Lion.
It has been the absolute privilege of my life to be your LT for the past 10 years. And I am forever grateful for the opportunity the Ford Family and the Lions organization afforded me.
