Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be cut candidate
The Lions might cut Decker this offseason if he doesn't retire, Aaron Schatz of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker has been a fixture along the Detroit offensive line and has been a prominent figure in the team's resurgence the last few seasons. However, he's missed multiple games in each of the last three campaigns, and cutting him this offseason would carry a dead cap hit of only $9.4 million. It's difficult to imagine the Lions voluntarily parting ways with Decker, but this could be an offseason of transition for the team after a disappointing 2025.
