Lions, starting LT Decker reach $60M extension

NFL

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Taylor Decker, the longest-tenured player for the Detroit Lions, has agreed to a three-year extension.

The left tackle reached an agreement on a three-year, $60 million extension that includes $31.83 million guaranteed, agent Jonathan Feinsod announced on social media Monday.

Lions general manager Brad Holmes announced the deal on 97.1 The Ticket’s “Costa & Jansen with Heather” show, but didn’t disclose terms.

Decker, 29, was entering the last year of a deal scheduled to pay him $13.7 million. He is now under contract through the 2027 season.

The Lions have signed both of their starting offensive tackles to extensions this year. In April, the team signed starting right tackle Penei Sewell to a four-year, $112 million extension.

Decker was selected 16th in the 2016 draft out of Ohio State. His 112 starts are 32 more than any other Lions player in that span.
