Aidan Hutchinson’s contract situation is about to get interesting. With Maxx Crosby resetting the market at $34.5 million per year, the question is whether the Lions should lock up their star edge rusher now or wait.
Detroit has flexibility—Hutchinson is still under contract through 2026 with the fifth-year option—but waiting could get expensive. Hutchinson has proven he’s a game-changer, but he’s also coming off a serious injury. The team has to weigh the risk of committing big money now versus letting the market push his price even higher. With other young stars like Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta also nearing extension talks, the timing of this deal could impact Detroit’s financial future.
Should the Lions go all-in on Hutchinson now or hold off?
