Aidan Hutchinson: Detroit Lions’ defensive end agrees record contract for non-quarterback

Advertisements

Aidan Hutchinson has agreed a four-year contract extension with the Detroit Lions which includes an NFL record for the highest guaranteed salary for a non-quarterback.

The defensive end’s new contract is worth a total of $180m (£135.9m), with $141m (£106.5m) guaranteed.

Micah Parsons remains the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback after being traded to the Green Bay Packers in August, but his contract is worth less in guaranteed money.

Hutchinson and Parsons are two of the NFL’s best pass rushers, with the Lions star having picked up from where he left off after missing most of last season with a severe leg injury.

The 25-year-old, who was in the last year of his rookie deal – having been drafted by Detroit with the second overall pick in 2022, has claimed six sacks from seven games this season.

Hutchinson has registered 34.5 sacks in 46 games overall, helping them claim their first play-off win in 32 years en route to the NFC Championship game at the end of the 2023 season, which they lost 34-31 to the San Francisco 49ers.
