After leaving the Lions, Taylor Decker would feel dirty playing for the Bears or Packers
Decker asked for his release from the Lions, but that doesn't mean he would want to play for their rivals.
Longtime Lions left tackle Taylor Decker asked for and received his release this offseason after the team wanted him to take a pay cut. But while Decker is done as a Lion, he wouldn't want to be a rival of the Lions. That's the word from Justin Rogers, who interviewed Decker and wrote about him for DetroitFootball.
net and learned that Decker wouldn't want to play for the Bears or Packers. “He wants to play for a winner. Yet he’s kind of thinking about, ‘Is it cheap to go win somewhere else after you’ve invested all your energy emotionally and physically into one franchise?
’” Rogers said on the Lions Collective podcast . “I will tell you that he’s pretty anti-playing for the Bears or Packers. That’s the Lions background in him.
I know Ben Johnson did it and that was the right situation for him, but Taylor feels kind of dirty about the idea. It just isn’t interesting to him. I could see him joining a team mid-season, the further he gets away from football and games being played, injuries happening and the right offer occurs.
