Source: Detroit Lions tell Kenny Golladay they're not using franchise tag on him

The Detroit Lions have informed wide receiver Kenny Golladay that they will not use their franchise tag on him, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, clearing the way for Golladay to enter free agency.

Golladay heading to the open market means the Lions will likely completely overhaul their receiver corps. Marvin Jones, Danny Amendola and Jamal Agnew are also scheduled to be free agents, taking the majority of their receiver reps from a season ago. Detroit officially signed Tyrell Williams on Tuesday to help remake its receiver room.
