The Lions have locked down two of their building blocks for years to come.
In a series of deals reported Wednesday, the Lions signed wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown to a four-year extension worth $120 million with $77 million guaranteed, and offensive tackle Penei Signed Sewell to a new four-year contract worth $112 million for $85. Million guaranteed.
The structure of the contract should be clarified in the coming days to determine how much of the amount is fully insured or insured against injury.
St. Brown, a two-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro last season, is in his fourth season in the league.
Last season, he caught 119 passes for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns.
“I’m here, four more years,” St. Brown said in a video posted to his Instagram Story from Ford Field. “Go up, it’s your turn. Detroit, what’s up?”
St. Brown was selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of USC.
Sewell was a player in the same draft class and was taken 7th overall after starring at the University of Oregon.
He started all 17 games last season, is a two-time Pro Bowler like St. Brown, and was named All-Pro last season.
Meanwhile, quarterback Jared Goff’s long-term future with the organization is up in the air.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote in X on Wednesday that there is no “imminent” new contract for Goff.
“The Lions and Goff have been discussing a new contract this offseason, but no deal has been finalized at this time.” Schefter wrote.
The Lions went 12-5 last season and won the NFC North with Goff passing for 4,575 yards, 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Still, the QB was aware of the uncertainty surrounding him heading into the offseason.
“As for my future, it’s not up to me,” he said after the Lions’ season ended in January. “I love this place, so we’ll see what happens here over time. But yeah, I love this place, I love Dan (Campbell), I love all the coaches. I love my teammates too. In a way, it’s out of my hands. It’s up to my representatives and of course the people upstairs.”
They defeated the Rams and Buccaneers in the first and second rounds of the NFL playoffs, but lost 34-31 to the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
According to DraftKings’ latest Futures odds, the Lions are +1200 to win the Super Bowl in 2025, trailing only the Ravens, 49ers and defending champion Chiefs in odds.
