Offensive lineman Taylor Decker, the Detroit Lions’ longest-tenured player, has requested his release from Detroit, he announced on social media Friday.
The move comes about two weeks after he announced he would return to the NFL for an 11th NFL season.
“I fully intended to do it once again, but my time as a Lion is coming to an end,” Decker wrote on Instagram. “In the weeks since notifying the team of my return there have been numerous discussions. Many of which were a surprise to me, and we could not find a common ground. Therefore I decided to request my release.”
