The Detroit Lions and star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown are in progressive talks toward a contract extension that will make him one of the highest-paid wideouts in the NFL. A report from Cam Marino indicates the two sides are working on a multi-year deal that would pay St. Brown in the range of $25 million per season.
The idea of the Lions prioritizing an extension to lock up St. Brown is well speculated already. In his year-ending press conference, GM Brad Holmes alluded to the prospect of signing the Lions’ own players. St. Brown would be at the top of that list as an All-Pro entering the final year of his contract.
