Taylor Decker, who is the longest-tenured player for the Detroit Lions, has agreed to a three-year extension with the team.
Decker 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, during training camp at the Meijer Performance Center but didn’t disclose terms. He said they reached the agreement Sunday.
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.
“He’s been a key cog of what we’ve been building, what we’ve doing. His leadership, his professionalism,” Holmes told 97.1 The Ticket. “He’s a guy that really embraced our culture, so he’s a big part of what we do, and it all starts up front with the offensive line, as we all know, so I’m just really, really happy that we were able to get that one done and happy for Deck and his family.
The Lions have now 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.
