Show Notes
Taylor Decker, the Detroit Lions veteran left tackle, was released after requesting his release. Despite a down year due to a shoulder injury, he still performed well, earning Pro Football Focus grades of 69.5 in pass blocking and 62.1 in run blocking. Teams like the Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers, and San Francisco 49ers are now interested in him to fill their left tackle voids. The Bears face uncertainty after Ozzy Trapilos injury, and Decker has previous experience with their head coach. Pittsburghs Broderick Jones underwent neck fusion surgery and hasnt met expectations, while San Franciscos Trent Williams might be released due to a large cap hit and stalled contract talks. As free agency heats up, Deckers experience makes him a prime target for a quick starter role.
