DETROIT — The Detroit Lions signed defensive end Aidan Hutchinson to a four-year contract extension worth $180 million that includes $141 million guaranteed on Wednesday.
Hutchinson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 draft, has been a star for the team from day one. He finished second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting (behind the Jets’ Sauce Gardner) with a team-leading 9.5 sacks and followed that up with a Pro Bowl nod after an 11.5-sack season.
Hutchinson joins quarterback Jared Goff, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, offensive tackle Penei Sewell, defensive tackle Alim McNeill, safety Kerby Joseph and wideout Jameson Williams on the list of Lions who have received extensions the past two years. All but Goff are homegrown players drafted by Lions general manager Brad Holmes.
What does the signing mean for Hutchinson, the Lions and the edge rusher market? We asked Lions reporter Eric Woodyard, ESPN national reporters Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, and NFL analyst Ben Solak to weigh in
