Kerby Joseph set out to lead the NFL in interceptions in 2024—and he did just that, hauling in nine picks to top the league. Despite earning First-Team All-Pro honors, he was snubbed from the Pro Bowl, which cost him nearly $3.9 million in salary escalators.
While he did receive a solid performance-based pay bonus of nearly $1 million, the real payday is coming soon. The Lions have already met with his agent about a new contract, and with his market value projected at $23.2 million per year, Joseph could soon become the NFL’s highest-paid safety.
