Lions’ veteran left tackle Taylor Decker announced he has requested his release from Detroit, which would free up $11.6 million in cap space but incur $9.44 million in dead money. Decker, a former first-round pick in 2016, recently confirmed his return for the 2026 season after considering retirement due to a shoulder injury. He played 14 games in 2025 and was in the final year of a six-year, $85 million contract extension signed in 2024.
