Detroit Lions OT Taylor Decker: Coronavirus presenting 'challenges' in contract talks

If this were any other year, Taylor Decker and the Detroit Lions might have started talks on a long-term contract extension already.

But with so much uncertainty about the future, including how coronavirus restrictions could reshape the budgets of NFL teams going forward, Decker said he's yet to have any substantial negotiations with the team that drafted him in the first round out of Ohio State in 2016.

"Nothing major," Decker said in a video conference Thursday. "I mean, obviously, 'Hey, we like you, we like you, sort of thing.' But nothing major."
