Myles Garrett’s New Deal Could Shape Aidan Hutchinson’s Future in Detroit
Myles Garrett is staying in Cleveland after signing a massive $40 million per year extension with the Browns, ending any speculation about a potential move to Detroit. While the Lions were never heavily linked to Garrett this offseason, his contract does set a new market for top defensive ends—something that directly impacts Aidan Hutchinson’s future in Detroit.
Hutchinson, entering the final year of his rookie deal, is eligible for an extension, and the Lions have a history of locking up key players early. With the fifth-year option keeping him under contract through 2026, Detroit has time, but Garrett’s deal could influence Hutchinson’s eventual price tag.
Meanwhile, Trey Hendrickson remains available via trade, but there’s no sign of Lions interest. If Detroit looks to free agency for pass-rush help, several options remain on the board.
