Earlier today, Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes was on 97.1 The Ticket to talk about training camp, direction of the team and so much more. In the process of talking with Jim Costa and Jon Jansen on Costa and Jansen with Heather, Holmes revealed that Taylor Decker had signed a contract extension with Detroit.

In addition to Holmes announcing the extension, Jonathan Feinsod, announced the extension as well. Feinsod is Decker’s agent and it was announced as a 3-year contract extension worth $60 million dollars. There’s also about $32 million dollars guaranteed with this deal. He was scheduled to make $13.7 million dollars this season on the last year of his deal.
Last season, he played 1,042 offensive snaps for Detroit (per PFF) and he earned a 77.3 overall grade. That was his highest grade from PFF since 2020. Decker is the Lions longest-tenured player and it appears he’ll stay as that after this extension. On August 23rd, he’ll turn 31-years old and this contract will keep him under contract through the 2027 season.
