Someone give me an idea of how good he is. This development only matters to me because of Mike McGlinchey possible comp lol

Good, but not great so far, though he has battled a few injuries which effected his game. He is a very solid pass blocker and an average run blocker.Decker is 27 years old so this will cover the prime of his career. Overall this is a good deal for both sides imo.

This move makes sense on both sides. With COVID-19, the Lions are getting a slightly above average LT at a decent wage who they are familiar with. The 2021 draft season is going to be a crapshoot and anyone who is even in this ballpark that is available in FA is going to get PAID.

guess its not the worst for an OL to not be a well known commidity. do your job and get paid fairly. good deal for both sides.

having both tackles signed at 15m per for the foreseeable future is smart by the Lions. establish continuity and let the line gel. your QB already has been beaten a lot during his stint in Detroit and you may want to start him another few seasons.
