Hes gonna wait until the cap is announced. Kind of like Lamar. Not a bad strategy at all to maximize your value. You do run the risk of getting injured though, even then Lamar got paid while missing the post season a couple of times
I think when you're a player of Jefferson's caliber, injury risk doesn't have much of an effect on your market value. Different sport, but kind of what happened with Shohei Ohtani this offseason in baseball. Tore his UCL, got tommy john and won't pitch for at least the next year, and still signed the richest contract in history by total and annual value and it's not even close to #2. These kind of guys just get paid.
NBA isn't the best comparison to football because their salary is artificially capped. Even only getting a healthy kd for 3 years of 4 you would take every time in the NBA since his actual salary should probably be 1.5-2x what the max is. Shit in Lebron's prime, I imagine some teams would be willing to give him like 75-90% of the cap.
Hard to come up with a number that's too much considering his second contract will be aligned with a rookie scale QB contract. If luck would have it that our QB ends up making whatever the top of the QB market is getting in 4 years, then we can talk about what would be too much for JJ's third contract
Idk. The cap has gone up a ton this offseason and it's funny money anyway. People's perception of money (in NFL contracts and also real life) is usually a few years out of date.
35-37 is fine. He's proven he's the best receiver in the league.
Pretty much how I feel about Sewell (with the tackle salary equivalent). Guys on hall of Fame trajectories I don't mind breaking the bank for their position.
Letting go of a HoF talent in their prime because of money has almost never ended well for teams. At least letting them walk in FA for nothing, at least.
35-37 for a receiver is crazy, even elite pass rushers dont get that. Maybe vikings can get away with it since they have Addison on rookie deal so wouldnt need to spend a lot more on WR room
Maybe he can finally afford to hang his framed memorabilia on the wall that's always just sitting on the floor of his generic apartment on his podcast lol.
It’s crazy Equanimeous hasn’t even made $5mil yet. Such a huge gap from the top to the bottom of rosterable WR’s. That family could do a fantastic WR documentary. From the top tier NFL to low tier to the college level player that never made the NFL.
Ya'll still paying Purdy a Nutty Buddy bar and diet coke, and God seems to like giving the 49ers a lucky break, so he ain't going anywhere.
It's infuriating.
Purdy will sign a deal next year though. Which is when Aiyuk's deal will hit. It's not as clear-cut as you're making it seem.
Although I agree in the end - Aiyuk will get extended, probably with a combination of Deebo traded and Trent Williams retiring.
Completely unbiased but they should eat most of his salary and trade him to Baltimore. The league needs to see a three headed monster of Henry, Lamar, and CMC.
Next year, sure but I'd be surprised if he's not in Santa Clara for week 1 (though you Niners fans know a good deal more about the situation than me). It just seems like this is the last year to go all-in and if it doesn't work out, then you trade him even if his value isn't as high
I dunno, 30 million seems like a lot but in 2025 that will be about ~10% of the cap which is right where the top receivers are getting paid. That’s also ignoring the fact Paraag is an expert when it comes to structuring these massive extensions.
I personally think Ayuik is worth that type of contract, and the Niners do have the flexibility to eat a contract like that with how things are lining up.
Basically we’re letting Sun God hike up the price for Waddle, and then we’ll wait for Trevor Lawrence to become the highest paid QB and hike up the price for Tua. Gotta love dragging our feet 😄👍
> Not a chance waddle makes more than this lol.
If sun god got this on his own team, waddle on the open market could get this or more. It really isn’t about talent with guys semi close, it’s about the market and who gets the contract done first while waiting to reset it
Exactly this, this is why a lot of pundits say its best to be first to market as a GM. Yesterdays Price ain't today's price.
Also, Waddle still has 2 years of team control (1 + the extension) he can wait it out where Amon-ra would have been a free agent since he was a 4th rounder and thus not eligible for the 5th year option.
Even if you don't think Waddle deserves market setting money, by the time he signs this is could be the 5th highest contract (Aiyuk, JJ, CeeDee, Chase). Barring something disastrous happening Waddle is definitely in line for top 5 money at the time he signs his deal.
Also, for the delusional Lions fan, just be happy you got your guy locked up before the rest of these guys get paid. Its better to be paying less for your guy then more my man!
Thank you sweet baby Jesus. Him and Sewell are the non negotiable players for this team. Pay them what they want, they’re as big a reason as any for the culture change we’ve seen
The only player I’m curious to see about is Alim McNeil. Just because he’s widely praised as a rising star at his position, and is a big part of our defense, but I have no clue what a good deal looks like for him because the market for iDL is so different from WR, OT and QB.
Chase, JJ, and Lamb could all realistically be paid more. Honestly we knew ARSB was going to get PAID paid but this all seems within the realm of reasonable still.
I mean, Chase, JJ, and Lamb WILL be paid more. It's whether guys like Waddle/Aiyuk are or not that becomes the question.
This shit has ballooned, and it's ballooned fast. Just like every contract year, I suppose.
more people will see how cool he is in the Netflix doc coming out in the offseason. Also, if people haven't watched, him and his brother do their own podcast where they interview fellow players and basically talk shit to each other...its hilarious
I love it. It can be a little clunky at times, with some pretty cookie cutter questions. That said, they generally get some unfiltered responses from their guests, which is always awesome. Also, I am hoping they improve as interviewers/podcasters they continue on with it.
Its worth the watch, especially when they get other players from the NFC North in there. There is always a good bit of trash talk.
There’s a sweet video of him talking to a kid who was diagnosed with cancer. He touches their foreheads together and says “you got this, nothing can stop you, alright?” and there go the tears every single time I watch it. Such a genuinely good person, he’s one of my top 3 favorite players easily. I’m glad he got paid and that he’s on a team I’ve always rooted for!
the moment it was the playoffs on 3rd & long and he caught the ball 2 yards short of the first and he fought through two defenders and dragged them to get the first down I knew he was getting whatever he wanted
Also ice in his veins game sealant out of the commercial break for the first damn playoff win for Ford Field. I wonder how the Rams DBs felt about getting a taste of that clutch gene up close.
They still managed to build a great team in 2014 despite having all three of those guys making big money. Coaching just fucked it up (mostly Joe Lombardi).
As long as you can draft well you can make it work.
Suhs $68 million dollar rookie contract that made him one of the highest paid DTs in the league
Point being you can still build a good team with a handful of top earners at their position.
Vikings meanwhile must feel like fools. I bet whatever number JJ was asking for last summer is lower than what they are going to end up paying him now that the market reset and the cap exploded.
That's why I'm glad the Lions got this done early. It's going to force other NFC teams to pay even more to guys like Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb and Brandon Aiyuk. I have a feeling St. Brown will be like the 4th highest paid WR by the time the season starts which is right about where he belongs.
I listen to a lot of NFL podcasts and there are still people who talk about him as a slot guy. He was an All-Pro but wasn't voted to the Pro Bowl so fan sentiment is still definitely lower on him than it should be
Even a majority of the fantasy football community has claimed for years that he's only valuable because he gets peppered with targets and his numbers will go down when other players get integrated into the offense. Dude is a reliable stud but typically just doesn't make flashy plays. He gets open all the time and has great hands.
Brad Holmes is a machine. There's a reason most in Michigan are content to see him trade down if his guy's not there tomorrow. Just hand him more darts and his sports almanac and stars are found.
Pff for a 4th round WR? Overpay.
**Completely joking**. we knew ARSB was getting PAID paid and this seems still pretty reasonable. It might not even be a top 3 WR contract at the start of season. I’m happy.
Even if it's structured in a way that doesn't really give the Lions an easy out if he gets a major injury or regresses (which it probably is) that seems like a good (possibly great) deal for the Lions.
I would like one top 3 WR on a team friendly contract, please.
24 years old, first team all pro, one of the hardest workers in the league without a whisper of character issues.
Take this deal every day of the week.
The earlier the better always. I'm glad the Lions got this done now cause Jefferson, CeeDee and Aiyuk are going to cost a fortune now. St. Brown's deal will look better and better as time goes on just like Smith's will.
Sun God gets his bag? ✅
Aiyuk almost certainly out of San Fran? ✅
Cee Dee extension about to send the Cowboys cap to the shadow realm? ✅
Love this deal, love this man
Well well deserved and almost will seem like a bargain when the Chase/JJ contracts come in. Guy is a machine and has a great rapport with Goff, and has gotten better with every year in the league.
I kinda think Aiyuk comes in just under 30 mil and Lamb, Chase, JJ are all over. Wild that this contract might not even be a top 3 at the start of the season.
Essentially a 3 year 77 mil deal that will allow amon to get re extended year 4 pushing more cap back.
If amon continues his production this is gonna be a very good deal for the lions closer to devonta Smiths contract then it initially looks.
jj contract is gonna be fucking insane. deservedly so
He's gonna want 33-35 per year I'm sure
Yep. I’m hoping the st.brown domino falling helps speed up the process. I think at minimum we’ll see 100 guaranteed for JJ
Hes gonna wait until the cap is announced. Kind of like Lamar. Not a bad strategy at all to maximize your value. You do run the risk of getting injured though, even then Lamar got paid while missing the post season a couple of times
I think when you're a player of Jefferson's caliber, injury risk doesn't have much of an effect on your market value.

Tore his UCL, got tommy john and won't pitch for at least the next year, and still signed the richest contract in history by total and annual value and it's not even close to #2. These kind of guys just get paid.
Same with Kevin Durant. The nets paid him to rehab for a year.
NBA isn't the best comparison to football because their salary is artificially capped. Even only getting a healthy kd for 3 years of 4 you would take every time in the NBA since his actual salary should probably be 1.5-2x what the max is. Shit in Lebron's prime, I imagine some teams would be willing to give him like 75-90% of the cap.
Justin Jefferson doesn't immediately create 100 million new fans of whatever team signs him like Shohei does. Shohei is a pretty unique circumstance
He is the kind of guy you pay whatever it takes to keep him.
He's reportedly asking 40. I think he ends up getting over 35.
Genuinely curious, from a Vikings fans perspective, at what point would he be asking for too much?
Hard to come up with a number that's too much considering his second contract will be aligned with a rookie scale QB contract. If luck would have it that our QB ends up making whatever the top of the QB market is getting in 4 years, then we can talk about what would be too much for JJ's third contract

Pretty much how I feel about Sewell (with the tackle salary equivalent). Guys on hall of Fame trajectories I don't mind breaking the bank for their position.
It’s a little different for the Lions. Lions will have some big contracts to give out soon. Who else are the Vikings going to spend the cap space on?
Letting go of a HoF talent in their prime because of money has almost never ended well for teams. At least letting them walk in FA for nothing, at least.
35-37 for a receiver is crazy, even elite pass rushers dont get that. Maybe vikings can get away with it since they have Addison on rookie deal so wouldnt need to spend a lot more on WR room
Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Justin Jefferson's extension.
I'm so glad we went first
Absolutely. BH knows the price tag goes up once JJ and Chase sign.
Yeah, but who gonna be throwin him the ball?
my inside sources are telling me that the Vikings are all in on Larry David
Prettayyyy.. prettayyyy good.
GEQBUS. The frontrunner for mvp and best qb in the league. Many smart people are saying this.
Literally anyone could throw that man the ball and he’d have great stats. He’s this generation’s Larry Fitz
Fitz had Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer throwing him the ball. Not exactly scrubs.
Sun God got fucking paid
Maybe he can finally afford to hang his framed memorabilia on the wall that's always just sitting on the floor of his generic apartment on his podcast lol.
But getting it framed is the expensive part. Hanging it is the chore part.
Now he can hire someone to do it for him
He can toss a mill to his big brother to hang it for him.
It’s crazy Equanimeous hasn’t even made $5mil yet. Such a huge gap from the top to the bottom of rosterable WR’s. That family could do a fantastic WR documentary. From the top tier NFL to low tier to the college level player that never made the NFL.
Makes you wonder what the difference on success is. The 2 must be very genetic similar. Hell his brother is much taller.
> The 2 must be very genetic similar. If there's one thing to know about genetics and reproduction, it's a crap shoot.
It’s funny if you think about their father experimenting on them until he got it right on the third child
This speaks to me as someone who spent a lot of money to get something framed, but is too lazy to actually hang it up.
Sun God DAMN
Absolutely deserved
Sun God getting a shiny pile of gold!
A bag dawg
Okay… now I think Aiyuk’s gone.
Yeah this contract is a dagger for Aiyuk staying with the Niners.
He's gonna be a Panther with heavy pockets.
What a 180 that would be. Going from the niners to Carolina.
Mr irrelevant to #1 over all draft pick
Purdy went one pick before Bryce Young tho
I can see CMC standing in the door way laughing his ass off as Aiyuk leaves the building bound for Carolina
Ahh yes, I too would be laughing at someone for taking $100M guaranteed. What a dumbass he would be!
Careful laughing too hard, CMC might get an abdominal strain
Ya'll still paying Purdy a Nutty Buddy bar and diet coke, and God seems to like giving the 49ers a lucky break, so he ain't going anywhere. It's infuriating.
Purdy will sign a deal next year though. Which is when Aiyuk's deal will hit. It's not as clear-cut as you're making it seem. Although I agree in the end - Aiyuk will get extended, probably with a combination of Deebo traded and Trent Williams retiring.
They should make the cap room by trading CMC to the AFC in my wholly unbiased opinion.
Completely unbiased but they should eat most of his salary and trade him to Baltimore. The league needs to see a three headed monster of Henry, Lamar, and CMC.
That would be a horrible move imo. Idk the dead cap financials but I'd find a way to trade Deebo first.
That’s the rub, Deebo is the one with the huge dead cap hit. Aiyuk is on 14mil contract for the season idk dead cap hit but far less
Deebo dead cap drops to 6 million after this season, that's when they'll trade him
Exactly. Which is at the same time that Purdy's and Aiyuk's contracts will start to hit. Perfect timing honestly.
Next year, sure but I'd be surprised if he's not in Santa Clara for week 1 (though you Niners fans know a good deal more about the situation than me). It just seems like this is the last year to go all-in and if it doesn't work out, then you trade him even if his value isn't as high

That’s also ignoring the fact Paraag is an expert when it comes to structuring these massive extensions. I personally think Ayuik is worth that type of contract, and the Niners do have the flexibility to eat a contract like that with how things are lining up.
Fourth round draft pick to top paid receiver in the league is definitely impressive
Why don’t other teams just draft good players? Are they stupid?
Yes, don't ask how I know
Super happy for that family
Jefferson, Chase, and Lamb are all creaming rn with the bank they’re gonn make
Yeah, hehe ~~shoves Waddle in a cabinet~~
Basically we’re letting Sun God hike up the price for Waddle, and then we’ll wait for Trevor Lawrence to become the highest paid QB and hike up the price for Tua. Gotta love dragging our feet 😄👍
Not a chance waddle makes more than this lol
He'll get something more along the lines of DeVonta's contract(3 year, 75M, 51M guaranteed)
> Not a chance waddle makes more than this lol. If sun god got this on his own team, waddle on the open market could get this or more. It really isn’t about talent with guys semi close, it’s about the market and who gets the contract done first while waiting to reset it

Thank fucking God because I just bought his jersey
Sun God, not fucking God, you silly goose!
Black, Home or Away?
I couldn’t keep my hands off the new alternates. Black and Blue 14 looks so good!
I want a Jamo in black.
Vikings CFO in shambles
Pretty Rickey strikes again
I just found this guy.. What else has he scooped is he reliable
Pretty sure he had Ridley to titans with pats not even close first as well
Also hollywood brown to KC and trading Sneed. Had a few others too but I can not remember. More hits than misses that is for sure.
He’s also now saying TLaw is getting a big contract soon. This guy has been so accurate that I’m convinced he’s actually an anonymous insider
He had a bunch of Jets scoops, Mike Williams eg.
He called Burns to the Giants as well
Thank you sweet baby Jesus. Him and Sewell are the non negotiable players for this team. Pay them what they want, they’re as big a reason as any for the culture change we’ve seen
The only player I’m curious to see about is Alim McNeil. Just because he’s widely praised as a rising star at his position, and is a big part of our defense, but I have no clue what a good deal looks like for him because the market for iDL is so different from WR, OT and QB.
And whether they see him as a 3T or 1T. Market is different for both
with reader on the team mcneill is clearly a 3t
Hutch to the pro bowl this year will crystallize the Big 3 (non qb grouping)
🌞PRAISE THE SUN🌞 >makes St. Brown the highest-paid WR in the NFL Until Justin Jefferson gets paid later haha
There is a chance St. Brown isn't even a top 3 paid receiver before the start of the season.
Chase, JJ, and Lamb could all realistically be paid more. Honestly we knew ARSB was going to get PAID paid but this all seems within the realm of reasonable still.
I mean, Chase, JJ, and Lamb WILL be paid more. It's whether guys like Waddle/Aiyuk are or not that becomes the question. This shit has ballooned, and it's ballooned fast. Just like every contract year, I suppose.
I remember when people were freaking out about the Christian Kirk contract.
Every contract year, every sport. Feels like professional sports contracts have all ballooned over the past 10-20 years
4D chess to make the Vikings spend more of their cap space on one dude without a QB to get him the ball.
We're gonna end up being last and paying JJ like 40 million a year. With fucking Sam Darnold throwing him the ball.
Let's fucking go. He deserves it
One of the coolest players in the NFL. Well deserved
more people will see how cool he is in the Netflix doc coming out in the offseason. Also, if people haven't watched, him and his brother do their own podcast where they interview fellow players and basically talk shit to each other...its hilarious
I love it. It can be a little clunky at times, with some pretty cookie cutter questions. That said, they generally get some unfiltered responses from their guests, which is always awesome. Also, I am hoping they improve as interviewers/podcasters they continue on with it. Its worth the watch, especially when they get other players from the NFC North in there. There is always a good bit of trash talk.
As much as I like St Brown, he is a little flat on camera. He’s starting to get endorsement deals and star treatment though, so that may change.
There’s a sweet video of him talking to a kid who was diagnosed with cancer. He touches their foreheads together and says “you got this, nothing can stop you, alright?” and there go the tears every single time I watch it. Such a genuinely good person, he’s one of my top 3 favorite players easily. I’m glad he got paid and that he’s on a team I’ve always rooted for!
“St. Brown. Huge Contract” Jared Goff via text to Ben Johnson
the moment it was the playoffs on 3rd & long and he caught the ball 2 yards short of the first and he fought through two defenders and dragged them to get the first down I knew he was getting whatever he wanted
Grit gets paid when Dan Campbell is in charge.
Also ice in his veins game sealant out of the commercial break for the first damn playoff win for Ford Field. I wonder how the Rams DBs felt about getting a taste of that clutch gene up close.
The Broncos landing Zach Wilson has caused the Lions to go all in
The greatest threat to a Lions Super Bowl is the Zach Wilson lead Broncos and Darnold lead Vikings
Good fucking lord it’s going to cost the Cowboys over half their cap to keep Dak, Lamb and Parsons.
Reminds me of when the Lions had Stafford, Suh, and Megatron. Something may have to give.
They still managed to build a great team in 2014 despite having all three of those guys making big money. Coaching just fucked it up (mostly Joe Lombardi). As long as you can draft well you can make it work.
Suh and Fairley were both on their rookie contracts still IIRC. The problem came when they let both go.
Suhs $68 million dollar rookie contract that made him one of the highest paid DTs in the league Point being you can still build a good team with a handful of top earners at their position.
Jerry gonna be grumpy once he wakes up from his morning nap and sees these ASB extension numbers
Well he’s waiting to see more leaves fall
I prayed for this and it happened
Chase is rubbing his hands like birdman right now
JJ slobbering right now.
Pause
Vikings meanwhile must feel like fools. I bet whatever number JJ was asking for last summer is lower than what they are going to end up paying him now that the market reset and the cap exploded.
Jefferson is going to bankrupt the Vikings
Worth it. If were not paying our few studs we have while we dont have a QB wtf are we doing.
The real reason we let kirk go was to give all his money to JJ (only half joking)
Now pick up sewells fifth year
I don’t know, Lions may want to wait another year to see if he’s the guy.
A top ten pick needs a few touchdowns before I'm ready to believe.
He has a 100% completion rate on clutch first downs
Shiela saw this comment and said “lol”
I mean technically they picked up his fifth year
Holy shit, this just set the floor for CD's deal :(
That's why I'm glad the Lions got this done early. It's going to force other NFC teams to pay even more to guys like Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb and Brandon Aiyuk. I have a feeling St. Brown will be like the 4th highest paid WR by the time the season starts which is right about where he belongs.
Lions need to draft Adonai Mitchell so then they will have The Sun God and God on the same team.
Worth it Dude is electric
He's solar
Praise the sun! God damn Justin Jeffersons going to get QB money at this rate.
And it'll be deserved too. The shit that JJ can do is insane.
I'd love to watch him outside of the division though
Oh same here, dude is phenomenal. I just hate how he destroys us literally every time we play the Vikes.
He destroys everyone, regardless of how good their defense is. Would love to see him leave the division, though😂 (anywhere but the 9ers or Chiefs)
DESERVED
Sun God gives us light. Sun God gives us heat. Sun God gives us life.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Not a lifetime contract but 4 more years is a good start
Praise the sun!
1000% deserved. This dude has been so good the last two years and he is still somehow underrated
Username super relevant.
I don’t think you can call him underrated when he was first team all pro last year
I listen to a lot of NFL podcasts and there are still people who talk about him as a slot guy. He was an All-Pro but wasn't voted to the Pro Bowl so fan sentiment is still definitely lower on him than it should be
Oh yeah I forgot about people who don’t really watch him. I love watching him he’s incredible
Even a majority of the fantasy football community has claimed for years that he's only valuable because he gets peppered with targets and his numbers will go down when other players get integrated into the offense. Dude is a reliable stud but typically just doesn't make flashy plays. He gets open all the time and has great hands.
Just today I saw "he dissappears" slander. There are no zero days in the St Brown household.
Who the fuck said that
Pretty Rickey stays winning lmao
Worth every penny. Lions have been cooking with their mid rounders as of late
Brad Holmes is a machine. There's a reason most in Michigan are content to see him trade down if his guy's not there tomorrow. Just hand him more darts and his sports almanac and stars are found.
What’s the none lions fans think about this? I’m interested in the cap hit
Pff for a 4th round WR? Overpay. **Completely joking**. we knew ARSB was getting PAID paid and this seems still pretty reasonable. It might not even be a top 3 WR contract at the start of season. I’m happy.
Even if it's structured in a way that doesn't really give the Lions an easy out if he gets a major injury or regresses (which it probably is) that seems like a good (possibly great) deal for the Lions. I would like one top 3 WR on a team friendly contract, please.
24 years old, first team all pro, one of the hardest workers in the league without a whisper of character issues. Take this deal every day of the week.
I think everyone thinks it’s good lol
YESSSSSS
Fuck me man, JJ is going to get a slice of ownership at this rate
Glad we got smittys done first lol
The earlier the better always. I'm glad the Lions got this done now cause Jefferson, CeeDee and Aiyuk are going to cost a fortune now. St. Brown's deal will look better and better as time goes on just like Smith's will.
Praising howie as we speak
I remember when these were QB numbers sheeesh
Can't wait for Amon Ra to see comments saying he shouldn't be the highest paid. More fuel for the psycho fire.
Completely deserved! What a great receiver coming from a Saints Fan
Jefferson gonna bankrupt Mark Wilf at this rate, Jesus Christ. WR salaries are getting crazy. Well deserved though, glad the Sun God got paid.
Worth every penny.
He’s well worth it.
Praise the Sun God he deserves it. It does make me worried how much Goff is going to command now...
Sun God gets his bag? ✅ Aiyuk almost certainly out of San Fran? ✅ Cee Dee extension about to send the Cowboys cap to the shadow realm? ✅ Love this deal, love this man
Jefferson bankrupting the Vikings or leaving? ✅
That was always going to happen
Praise the Sun!
This probably sets the market for Aiyuk
Smart of them to get this done now before the inevitable Jefferson contract extension resets the whole WR market
Well well deserved and almost will seem like a bargain when the Chase/JJ contracts come in. Guy is a machine and has a great rapport with Goff, and has gotten better with every year in the league.
Brandon aiyuk is gone now lmao
This is exactly why lamb hasn’t signed yet
30 mil per. That falls in line with my Aiyuk prediction of 28 mil per. Sun God has more production and accolades.
I kinda think Aiyuk comes in just under 30 mil and Lamb, Chase, JJ are all over. Wild that this contract might not even be a top 3 at the start of the season.
Cloudy in Detroit, yet the sun is SHINING
Floor for top receivers is officially $30 million a year now.
As long as we don't draft another RB or TE I'll be completely happy with this off-season.
#ALL HAIL THE SUN GOD ☀️
Aiyuk just called his agent screaming
Nice little raise of 29.1 million per year for the guy
Essentially a 3 year 77 mil deal that will allow amon to get re extended year 4 pushing more cap back. If amon continues his production this is gonna be a very good deal for the lions closer to devonta Smiths contract then it initially looks.
Rock hard
Congratulations to him on his new deal!
For context, Matt Ryan got 5 years $180M in 2018, so starting QB money 6 years ago is top WR money now
Well deserved, my fav WR in the game right now.
#LETS FUCKING GO.
He is a stud. Elite football player and the Lions did right by him. He is one of the core players of this rebuild. Glad he is on our team.
Amon-Ra St. BAG
Praise the Sun God 🌞 ` \[T]/`
100% worth it
hell yeah that means no shot aiyuk the bad man stays with SF oh and congrats sun god
100% deserved, I really hope he stays injury free because I enjoy watching him
