Reaction to Detroit Lions-Kenny Golladay no franchise tag: The 'tank' is expedited

The Detroit Lions and Kenny Golladay are seemingly going their separate ways, after the team reportedly informed him Tuesday they won't be placing the franchise tag on him before the afternoon deadline.

"There isn’t a team more prepared to intelligently expedite a tank in the inaugural years of its new coaching staff, scapegoat the pieces in place, then compete immediately thereafter with five 1st-round picks (and Goff’s team-friendly void) ahead of the 2023 season," wrote one Twitter user.

The Lions are led by first-year general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell.
