The Detroit Lions have locked up one of their most important offensive weapons for the next several years. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has agreed to a four-year contract extension worth more than $120 million, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the financial terms were not announced.
The Lions drafted St. Brown out of USC in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He quickly became a key part of the Lions’ offense, and he had a breakout season in 2022. St. Brown caught 119 passes for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns, earning All-Pro honors. He helped the Lions win a division title and two playoff games.
St. Brown is now one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. The Lions are hoping that he can continue to be a key part of their offense for years to come. St. Brown is a talented receiver who is still just 23 years old. He has a bright future ahead of him, and the Lions are excited to have him in Detroit for the long term.
