The Detroit Lions are already making moves to secure their top talent, with Aidan Hutchinson being a prime example. The team is currently in the “planning stages” of a contract extension with the defensive end, who was the second overall pick in the 2022 draft.
Hutchinson has been a game-changer for the Lions, recording 7.5 sacks in just five games last season before suffering a season-ending injury. His impressive performance earned him the NFC Defensive Player of the Month award for September.
Lions general manager Brad Holmes has made it clear that the team prioritizes retaining its homegrown talent, and Hutchinson is no exception. With the defensive end eligible for an extension, the Lions are taking proactive steps to ensure he remains a key part of their roster for years to come.
While the exact details of the extension are still being worked out, it’s likely that Hutchinson will receive a significant payday. As one of the top defensive ends in the league, he’s poised to become one of the highest-paid players at his position.
