I didn’t say he can’t. I said he hasn’t. You never know for sure until someone does it.

Jefferson, Chase, Lamb will all pass him by very soon

That is how it works for premium positions, nothing new.
Contract details, as expected, are good, but not quite all it was sold as either:
$35m fully guaranteed, but practical guarantees of about $62m because his 2026 contract becomes guaranteed at some point in 2025. Does have some injury guarantees in year three which push that up to $77m but again that extra $14m guarantees is just for injuries.
If he never sees that final year of his deal, which is $36m, they essentially took the last year of his deal where he was due about $3.5M and folded that into a 4 year/84M contract, or if people prefer to look at is as they added 3 years/81m to the last year of his rookie deal. This again does not count the $36m due the last year of his deal.
Pittman and Ridley will each make more then him over the next 3 seasons but they did have more leverage since ASRB still had a year left ,and like I said in the example above, his 3 new years beat the first 3 years of both of their contracts.

Love the player and glad we wrapped him up. He represents what Detroit Lion football has become.
Yikes.
Yeah. He was a top 3 WR last year and he played some games hurt.

ARSB may not see that last $35.4 and $8.67 million. But who knows, in 4 years that may be reasonable if the salary cap keeps skyrocketing.. But for now, I would view it as about a 3-year $76 million deal.
