The Detroit Lions just scored two game-changing wins off the field, locking in superstar wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and powerhouse offensive tackle Penei Sewell with historic contracts. 💰
St. Brown’s Historic Deal
St. Brown’s four-year, $120 million extension guarantees him a record-breaking $77 million—making him the highest-paid WR in NFL history by guaranteed cash. The 24-year-old, who dropped jaws with 1,515 receiving yards last season, celebrated on Instagram: \"I can't wait. I'm here, four more years.\" 🎯Sewell Rewrites the Playbook
Sewell’s $112 million deal resets the market for linemen, with $85 million guaranteed and a league-high $28 million average salary. The two-time Pro Bowler anchors a Lions offense that’s becoming the NFL’s new must-watch show. 👀Why it matters: These moves signal Detroit’s all-in strategy to build a championship roster around young talent. St. Brown and Sewell—both 24—are proof that draft steals can become cornerstones. 🏆
