The Detroit Lions have signed star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson to a massive four-year, $180 million extension. It includes $141 million in total guarantees and kicks in starting in 2027, tying him to the Lions through the 2030 season.
Hutchinson was the second overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and has developed into one of the best pass rushers in the league under head coach Dan Campbell. Another notable aspect of this deal is the amount of money the Detroit front office is investing in its team. Hutchinson becomes the ninth player to sign a massive extension, and the Lions have almost $1 billion tied up between them, per Dave Birkett.
Here are more details on the contract for Hutchinson as he signs a massive extension.

Aidan Hutchinson contract details
Hutchinson is playing the 2025 season under the final year of his rookie deal. The Lions had already picked up his fifth-year option for the 2026 season, and his new four-year extension will begin in 2027.
Hutchinson's deal is worth $180 million, with $141 million in guarantees. This is the most guaranteed money for a non-quarterback in NFL history. The deal also includes a $29 million injury guarantee in 2029 that converts to a full guarantee in early March 2028. This would be a factor if, for any reason, Detroit wants to part ways with him; the chance to do so would come before the injury guarantee converts.
