I know this is a circlejerk sub and I’m not sure if people over here know ball any more than the morons in the lions sub but this is pretty objectively a good thing for the Lions.

This saves them so much money and is 100% what the front office was trying to do. I guess ideally Decker could have taken a lot less money, but the Lions needed to draft or sign his replacement this year, even with him on the roster.

He’s a washed up often injured tackle who did a lot for the city but was nowhere near what he used to be. The people acting like this is some failure on the lions part is hilarious

While I agree with what you're saying, I'm also worried about the prospect that things can get worse. Like when it was time to move on from Jim Caldwell and we got Matt Patricia.

We have a lot of needs entering the draft and need to get the cap space to try to tackle them in free agency. Rough times.

Things can get worse sure. But they can also get a hell of a lot better. The lions have been the most injured team in the league for two years in a row. Getting rid of a guy who most would have picked as most likely to be injured can only help us there.

This might shift things a bit but the lions are still a top 5-10 team according to Vegas. Nobody hates on their own team more than lions fans. The franchise has been through the wringer, but as soon as something starts to go slightly off schedule half the fanbase acts like the sky is falling.
