Taylor Decker is entering his contract year, but he never wants to leave.

Allen Park — As the Detroit Lions enter the offseason, there has been much discussion regarding which players are eligible for contract extensions. Jared Goff, who is entering the final year of his contract, could be in line for a hefty salary. Amon-Ra St. Brown, who is nearing the end of his contract, could also receive one.

So what about Taylor Decker?

The veteran left tackle is Detroit’s longest-tenured player, yet he represents everything about the rebuild. He’s tough, physical, and skilled as hell, and he’s an important part of the Lions’ renowned offensive line, which has transformed into the engine for one of the league’s most explosive units.

\However, Decker’s deal expires after next season, and with stars like Goff and St. Brown to consider, as well as fellow offensive tackle Penei Sewell in the near future, will Detroit have the money to extend Decker beyond 2024?
