Should Aidan Hutchinson Wait on a Lions Contract Extension?
Detroit Lions star Aidan Hutchinson is facing a big decision about his future. The dominant edge rusher, who suffered a serious leg injury last season, is eligible for a contract extension, but some experts believe he should wait before signing a new deal.
NFL analysts project Hutchinson’s extension could be worth around four years, $110 million, with $82.5 million guaranteed. However, with the market for elite pass rushers continuing to rise—Nick Bosa currently leads at $34 million per year—waiting could mean an even bigger payday. If Hutchinson bounces back with a monster season in 2025, he could position himself for a record-setting contract.
Would the Lions risk losing him by waiting? Probably not. The team has shown a commitment to paying their stars, and Hutchinson remains a centerpiece of Detroit’s defense. But for now, all eyes will be on whether he bets on himself or locks in security early.
