Aidan Hutchinson gets record-breaking $180 million contract from Lions
NY Post
The Detroit Lions have locked up their star pass rusher.
Aidan Hutchinson agreed to a four-year contract extension, his agent announced Wednesday, with multiple reports stating the deal is for $180 million.
The deal includes $141 million guaranteed — the most ever guaranteed to a non-quarterback.
Hutchinson’s $45 million average salary trails only star Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons for the highest annual earnings among non-QBs, according to Roster Management System. Parsons agreed to a four-year, $186 million deal with Green Bay in August following his blockbuster trade from Dallas, a contract that boasts an average salary of $46.5 million, per Spotrac.
The 25-year-old Hutchinson was the NFL sacks leader last year before suffering a season-ending leg injury in Week 6 against the Cowboys.
Drafted second overall in 2022, Hutchinson started all 17 games in each of his first two seasons, racking up 28.5 sacks and earning a Pro Bowl nod in his sophomore campaign.
