The Detroit Lions have decided not to use their franchise tag on Kenny Golladay.

"I don't think there's any debate that Kenny has shown the ability to be a No. 1 receiver in this league," GM Brad Holmes said. "With that skill set that everybody knows that he has, we all know that he has, and being where we're at from a roster standpoint, there's also been no debate that Kenny has been at the forefront of our minds in terms of making sure that we make the best possible decision for not only the Lions but for Kenny."

Golladay emerged as the Lions' top receiving option the past three seasons, including a Pro Bowl berth in 2019, when he amassed 1,190 yards and 11 touchdowns. Hamstring and hip injuries limited Golladay to five games and just 20 catches for 338 yards and two touchdowns.
