Lions may have a $16 million answer to potential Taylor Decker retirement

Taylor Decker is maybe, possibly, walking this offseason. Walking home, to be sure.

Decker, the soon to be 32 year old Detroit Lions left tackle, has dealt with a lot of injuries this season that seem to have possibly been more than enough for him to consider retirement. It's fair, as 32 tends to be the age that offensive linemen begin to experience the wear and tear associated with getting hit by equally strong football players for nearly a decade.

With this Decker news, it makes for at least two starting positions on the Lions' O-line that will need filling.
