Breaking News: 30-years old Offensive tackler announces to Finish Career with Detroit Lions
With the Kansas City Chiefs celebrating their Super Bowl victory, the curtains have closed on another NFL season. Attention is now shifting towards the upcoming 2024 season.
The Detroit Lions are facing a series of crucial decisions leading up to the commencement of free agency, as they have several key players awaiting contract extensions.
Among the notable figures eligible for extensions are quarterback Jared Goff, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, as well as the two starting tackles, Penei Sewell and Taylor Decker.
Decker, who has been a reliable presence at left tackle for the team, expressed his commitment to staying in Detroit, affirming to the media his intentions to remain with the Lions.
“I am determined to finish my career here,” Decker stated in an interview with MLive. “I can confidently say that, at the end of the day, this is where I envision myself. While financial considerations are important, my preference is to stay here. I have a strong attachment to this team. I find joy in being here. I had the opportunity to be part of the rebuilding process, and it has been rewarding to witness the positive transformation in the past year and a half.
“As for my contract situation, there hasn’t been any significant progress in negotiations yet. But in the grand scheme of things, my desire is to stay here long term. Without a doubt, I see myself here indefinitely. We will have to wait and see how things unfold.”
