Taylor Decker Says He Wants to Leave the Detroit Lions
Taylor Decker, an offensive lineman who has played for the Detroit Lions since being drafted in 2016, has publicly stated that he wants out.
Decker took to Instagram on Friday, saying that he is
opting for a clean and amicable close to what has been such a beautiful 10 years going to war as a Lion.
He's not mad, though, and made it clear that he has a deep appreciation for the fans, the team, and the Ford family. He said,
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.

This is surprising news to Lions fans who saw Decker post on the same Instagram account just a week prior that he would be returning for his 11th season with the franchise. Alongside a photo of himself running onto the field, Decker wrote,
"Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I; SEND ME!”
While the Lions haven't said anything about this publicly, this will be the third move from the team this week. On Monday, March 2, it was announced that David Montgomery and Graham Glasgow would be leaving the franchise as well.
In fact, Montgomery commented on Decker's Instagram post saying, "Proud of you buddy!"
