Another Out of This World WR Contract Goes to Lions St. Brown

[32EBoozer]

GW extension will continue to go up!

DETROIT -- The Lions agreed to massive extensions with two of their top offensive stars Wednesday.

Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown agreed to a four-year, $120 million extension, a source confirmed to ESPN, and offensive tackle Penei Sewell is signing a four-year, $112 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

St. Brown's contract includes $77 million guaranteed, the source said. That's the most guaranteed money for a wide receiver in a single contract in NFL history, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

Sewell's contract includes $85 million guaranteed, the source told Schefter, the most for an offensive lineman, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The $28 million annual average salary in his contract is also the largest for an offensive lineman.

Draft a WR.

I love Amon-Ra St Brown. He has earned his big deal, and he's going to continue to produce.

Sewell got less AAV. Draft a WR.

Devonta Smith also got more AAV than Mailata. 

[rbstern]

He had a great year, but holy cow, WRs are getting expensive.

Offer an extension after this season as a tack-on to help lower the AAV & give him some upfront cash to make him happy

[slats]

Do you see what kinda trouble you run into when you hit on draft picks? 

[Beerfish]

Sorry we are going to be paying for Aaron Rodgers a year or more after he is gone and all the stupid restructures.  We re not going to be able to keep all of our great young players

never going to happend.

after seeing what WRs are getting now there is no way i would sign a contract 2 years early if i was him. the money will be much higher in 2 years. maybe after next year there is a chance but not now. 

plus we dont have a QB for the future. and drafting a guy wont help. i wouldnt want to be stuck here for an extra 4 more years if we draft Zach Wilson 2.0 throwing dirt balls at him.

if i was him i would wait until my 4th or 5th year to get the most money and more importantly to see who the new QB is and if he is any good.

As will the Salary Cap.  If the Jets want him there is no excuse.

None of it will be stupid if there is a 2nd Lombardi Trophy in the building after the next 2 seasons.

Oh, shoot, draft an OT!!!

[The Crusher]

We should only draft Safeties, TE and  RB cause it’s cost effective.

I think it's Odunze or Bowers tomorrow night if they don't trade down.

Honestly hoping for a trade down, grab Brian Thomas and add a pick.

[Bronx]

Joe Douglas will gamble on comp picks for Sauce, G. Wilson and Hall (B. Huff).

Not if you draft an h-back 

[DepressedJetsFan23]

If the lions were able to sign both their guys, don’t see a reason GW and Sauce can’t be lifelong jets. There have been so few good homegrown jets I’d really like for them to both spend their careers here. 

[hawk]

4 years $120 Million is a heck of a lot more than the 5 year $125 million it actually is, which is still alot.

 

Good for him!  Love watching the kid.

I know he's a RB, but I would love to add Breece into that convo.

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

It’s a lot of money, but the Lions’ window is now.

They didn’t really have a choice considering the passing game is essentially funneled through St. Brown.

If you draft Rome, Nabers or MHJ aka another “WR1” that gives you some leverage and a fallback option in case things get contentious with GW and his agent.

Nevertheless, it’s not really something the front office needs to worry about this year.

I’ve said this before: draft a first round receiver every other year.  
Build a pipeline and trade them after four years.
 

We’ll be swimming in first round picks! 

[Sonny Werblin]

What a terrible problem to have. Your players are so good that you have to pay them!

That's JD's new buzzword.
