Aidan Hutchinson gets record-breaking $180 million contract from Lions

The Detroit Lions have locked up their star pass rusher.

Aidan Hutchinson agreed to a four-year contract extension, his agent announced Wednesday, with multiple reports stating the deal is for $180 million.

The deal includes $141 million guaranteed, the most ever guaranteed to a non-quarterback. 

The 25-year-old pass rusher was the NFL sacks leader last year before suffering a season-ending leg injury in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. 

Drafted second overall in 2022, Hutchinson started all 17 games in each of his first two seasons, racking up 28.5 sacks and earning a Pro Bowl nod in his sophomore campaign. 

Going into 2025, Hutchinson was adamant that his leg injury wouldn’t slow him down — and he was right. He’s rattled off six sacks and four forced fumbles through the team’s first seven games.
