Detroit Lions and Amon-Ra St. Brown have reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension, marking a positive development for the team ahead of the NFL Draft. St. Brown, a fourth-round pick in the 2021 draft, is entering the final year of his rookie contract and was identified as a key player for extension consideration this offseason, alongside quarterback Jared Goff.
The extension, reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, is substantial, exceeding $120 million with $77 million guaranteed. This makes St. Brown the highest-paid receiver in the NFL, pending full disclosure of the contract details. The deal also sets a benchmark for other receivers like Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, and Brandon Aiyuk, who are navigating their own extension talks this offseason.
St. Brown’s impressive on-field performance underscores the value of this extension, with notable stats of 315 catches, 3,588 yards, and 21 touchdowns in his first three seasons, placing him prominently in Lions history across these metrics. With his future secured in Detroit, St. Brown looks forward to further elevating his status within the team’s record books in the years to come.
