The longest-tenured player with the Detroit Lions announced on social media on Friday he's requested the team release him from his contract.

Taylor Decker posted on his Instagram account he asked to be cut after discussions with the Lions resulted in no "common ground."

"I am opting for a clean and amicable close to what has been such a beautiful 10 years going to war as a Lion," wrote Decker.

Decker has been with the Lions since he was drafted in the first round in 2016. Less than two weeks ago he announced he planned to return for his 11th NFL season after mulling retirement.
