DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – Investing in protecting the quarterback, the Lions have signed offensive tackle Taylor Decker to a three-year extension. Decker is the Lions 2016 first-round draft pick that has played nine seasons for Detroit. The extension is worth $31.83 million good through the 2027 season. He was entering the final year of his contract and was set to make $13.7 million.
He says, “It’s not lost on me the fact that a lot of guys don’t get to spend their whole careers with one team. Hopefully, that’s in the cards for me and from the contract extension it seems like it’s in the cards. I’m very fortunate.”
