Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports the Detroit Lions aren’t planning to use their lone franchise tag on wide receiver Kenny Golladay. This means Golladay will hit the open market when the free agency period commences on Wednesday, March 17.
The #Lions don’t plan to tag WR Kenny Golladay, per source.
No final decision on whether Detroit may use a tag on someone else, but it appears Golladay is headed to the market.

While Golladay could remain with the Lions, who drafted him in 2017, there’s a chance he may end up elsewhere, such as in the New York/New Jersey market with either organization located in that area.
