"Their upcoming busy offseason is just one of the many reasons why the Lions wanted to finalize the deal they completed last week with standout Aidan Hutchinson. The organization wanted clarity on Hutchinson's contract numbers, it wanted to structure the deal with cap flexibility to re-sign its other key players, and it knew the challenges ahead. With Hutchinson now signed to a four-year, $180 million extension that includes $141 million guaranteed, the Lions can begin preparing for another challenging offseason."

In the last two years, the Lions have re-signed Hutchinson, quarterback Jared Goff, offensive tackle Penei Sewell, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, safety Kerby Joseph, defensive tackle Alim McNeill, offensive tackle Taylor Decker, running back David Montgomery and wide receiver Jameson Williams to contracts totaling $968.5 million."
