The Detroit Lions got one of the biggest NFL draft steals of the last decade when they drafted USC receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown in the 2021 NFL Draft. He has managed to be one of the best receivers in the league for two of his first three years. He's made two Pro Bowls and just made his first All-Pro team this year.
St. Brown also finished third in receptions, third in receiving yards and fourth in receiving touchdowns.
At some point you had to know that the Lions were going to have to make St. Brown and very highly paid player. That point has now arrived. St. Brown and the Lions have agreed to massive four year extension that will pay St. Brown $120 million. He'll get $77 million guaranteed.
This move makes St. Brown the leagues highest paid receiver and it keeps him in Detroit until 2028 when he'll be 29-years-old. It also makes sure that the Lions keep one of their main pillars for the long run.
