Lions extend left tackle Taylor Decker, secure Matthew Stafford's blind side for years to come

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker agreed to a four-year, $60 million extension Tuesday, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The $15 million average-per-year number is a bit below where we would have expected Decker to land, so this is a nice value signing for the Lions. Decker was set to play on a $10.35 million fifth-year option in 2020, and it appears as though that money remains in place. All in all, Decker should be under contract for the next five years in Detroit at a total cost of $70.35 million.
