The Detroit Lions have reached an agreement with wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown on a four-year contract extension that will keep him with the team for the foreseeable future. The deal, according to sources familiar with the situation, is worth more than $120 million with $77 million in guaranteed money.
St. Brown, who was drafted by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, has quickly become one of the most productive receivers in the league. In just three seasons, he has amassed 315 catches for 3,588 yards and 21 receiving touchdowns. Last season alone, he recorded career highs with 119 receptions, 1,515 yards receiving, and 10 touchdowns.
His impressive performance played a significant role in the Lions’ resurgence in 2022. The team won its first division title in three decades and advanced to the playoffs for the first time since the 1999 season. St. Brown’s contributions were recognized with an All-Pro selection, further solidifying his status as one of the rising stars in the NFL.
The Lions’ decision to invest heavily in St. Brown is a clear indication of their belief in his talent and potential. The 23-year-old receiver has emerged as a reliable target for quarterback Jared Goff and a key component of the Lions’ offensive attack. With this new contract, St. Brown will continue to be a cornerstone of the Lions’ offense for years to come, providing fans with plenty of excitement and the hope of continued success.
