"The Lions will cut left tackle Taylor Decker if he does not retire. He will be 33 years old next season and has had issues with shoulder injuries. In 2025, he fell to 45th out of 69 ranked tackles in pass block win rate, and he ranked 61st in run block win rate."

The Detroit Lions will enter the 2026 NFL Draft with a clear identity and an equally clear list of priorities. Rather than chasing splashy skill-position players or forcing need-based reaches, Detroit is in prime position to prioritize building up the trenches, along with its depth and long-term sustainability at multiple positions.

The Detroit Lions are expected to hire Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
