Big news out of Detroit—Lions GM Brad Holmes just gave an update that fans have been waiting for. The team is officially in the early stages of working out a contract extension for Aidan Hutchinson! After an unfortunate injury last season, the star pass rusher is expected to make a full recovery and return in 2025, and it looks like the Lions want to make sure he stays in the Motor City for years to come.
Hutchinson, who’s been a dominant force on the field, has racked up 82 solo tackles, 30 tackles for loss, 65 QB hits, and a whopping 28.5 sacks in his career so far. Locking him down long-term would be a major win for Detroit’s defense, especially considering the team isn’t expected to add another high-priced pass rusher due to budget constraints. So, if you were hoping for a big-name free agent at that position, don’t hold your breath.
Meanwhile, head coach Dan Campbell also shared some insight on the coaching staff overhaul. After losing both offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to the Bears and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to the Jets, Campbell made it clear that finding the right replacements was a meticulous process. He revealed that he conducted over 24 interviews—maybe even 26!—to ensure he got the best fits for the team’s culture and chemistry.
With Hutchinson’s extension talks in motion and a refreshed coaching staff, the Lions are setting up for another big season. Now, it’s just a matter of getting everything locked in before kickoff in 2025!
