Amon-Ra St. Brown signs a record $120 million wide receiver contract with the Detroit Lions.
Amon-Ra St. Brown waited through four rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft before the Detroit Lions called his name.
Three years later, the Lions have signed him to a hefty extension, which will soon pay off for his perseverance and effort.
The rumor that the Lions and the standout wide out have struck a massive agreement was first reported by NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.
With a $77 million guarantee, the four-year contract was inked for $120 million.
Just one day before the Detroit draft, he now has the highest salary of any wide receiver in the NFL thanks to the contract.
After being selected with the seventh choice in the fourth round of the 2021 draft, St. Brown became well-known in the Motor City.
He had the finest season of the previous year in 2023–24, the year of the Lions’ much-needed comeback to the top of the league. In terms of catches (119), yards (1,515), and touchdowns (10), he set personal records.
The Detroit Lions have extended the contracts of its general manager and head coach through the 2027 campaign, following a standout campaign that saw the team win the conference.
He tied for fourth place in the league in terms of touchdowns behind Tyreek Hill, CeeDee Lamb, and Mike Evans during the playoff run of the previous year.
He also ended third in the league in terms of receiving yards. In the midst of their playoff run, Lions supporters are wearing blue at a salon in Birmingham to honor St. Brown.
Fans of the Lions are feeling fantastic because they look wonderful. They’re even going to tint their hair Amon-Ra St. Brown, er, ‘St. Blue.’
