On Wednesday, the Detroit Lions and  Aidan Hutchinson agreed to a massive extension, per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Hutchinson missed most of the 2024 season due to an injury, but he hasn’t missed a beat since returning.

Now, he’ll be paid handsomely for his performance. The terms of the deal are reportedly four-years, $180 million, and that incudes $141 million guaranteed, per Hutchinson’s agent via ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The Lions will agree it’s worth it, as Hutchinson is off to a flying start this year, already putting up great numbers through seven games. He has 16 tackles and six tackles for a loss, also forcing four fumbles.
