Overview
- The club moved three days after Decker requested an exit following unsuccessful negotiations over a steep reduction from a $14.9 million base salary and a $1.5 million roster bonus.
- Because Detroit granted his release, the team cannot seek repayment of signing‑bonus money if he retires.
- The 2016 first‑round pick departs at age 32 after 140 starts across a decade in Detroit.
- Detroit agreed to terms Monday with center Cade Mays and tackle Larry Borom to reinforce offensive‑line depth.
- The left tackle spot opposite Penei Sewell is now open; other tackles on the roster include Giovanni Manu and Devin Cochran, and Borom started 11 games at right tackle for Miami last season.
