Report: Lions Will Not Tag Golladay

Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network is reporting that the Detroit Lions will not put the franchise tag on wide receiver Kenny Golladay (pictured), thus making Golladay an unrestricted free agent.

Golladay has battled injuries during his four-year Lions career.  Injuries cut short his 2020 season from 16 games to five contests.  He had 20 receptions for 338 yards and two TD's in 2020.
