Detroit Lions: Is Taylor Decker worth keeping long term?

Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Detroit Lions‘ left tackle Taylor Decker is the subject of debate. The front office has yet to make a decision on whether or not to exercise his fifth year option. Does this mean his future is in question?

Just by looking at his play, Decker is by no means a top-tier lineman. At best, he’s a mid-level player.

Playing and starting in all 16 games was a nice accomplishment and something the former Ohio State Buckeyes product hadn’t done since his rookie season. Unfortunately, 2018 wasn’t nearly as successful as his first year in the league (2016) where he missed zero snaps.
