In an unexpected season, the Detroit Lions were one victory away from the Super Bowl. Fans of the Lions have seen excitement return to this team thanks to Dan Campbell’s fast turnaround. Amon-Ra St Brown, a wide receiver who was passed over for the Pro Bowl but is coming off of an incredible 1,515-yard performance, is another important factor.
As a result, according to Cam Marino, the Lions and St. Brown are debating a significant contract extension.
“Source: Amon-Ra St. Brown, the star receiver for the Detroit Lions, is negotiating a contract extension that would keep him with the team for at least three more years, at a salary of about $25 million annually.” The Lions’ top priority as they head into the summer is to extend St. Brown.
The Lions extending St. Brown should be one of the top priorities for them this offseason. The former USC wide receiver has done nothing but produce since coming into the NFL. In his rookie season, he caught 90 passes for 912 yards with five scores and followed it up with 106 grabs for 1,161 yards and six scores a year ago.
This past season was the best by far as he totaled 1,515 yards on 119 catches and 10 touchdowns, all career highs. There is no doubt the Lions should do whatever it takes to keep St. Brown in town, even if it means giving him $25 million annually.
