30 million a year oh boy
Worth every damn penny
Give me the cap hit
Highest paid WR in the NFL. Well deserved. Come to Detroit, work hard, get paid.
Highest paid WR in the NFL (for now) but still feels like a team friendly deal because there’s no crazy bloated numbers on the back end for PR purposes. 30 Per, high guarantees, everyone is happy.

Let’s fucking go baby today is my 40th birthday and this is the best gift I’ll get
JJ salivating right now seeing this number
Fuck yeah lets go. I don’t care if this is top of the market – he’s young, he’s a fucking stud, and this is going to look great in two years after Aiyuk, CD, Chase, and JJ all get bags.
Let’s GO.
Just a reminder that the guaranteed money is what matters most.
For a guy who made legit peanuts in nfl terms for the three years i couldn’t be happier for him.
He deserves every damn dollar. Good ass deal I’m glad they got It done.
Justin Jefferson about to break the NFL lol. Good for St, he deserves it
Sun for the Sun God!
Love this for him. He earned every penny. I don’t think there’s a dollar amount they could have given him that I wouldn’t have thought he deserved, and the same goes for Sewell. St. Brown is everything we’re about and one of the best players in the league. Glad we did right by him.
Let’s go
Jefferson boutta bankrupt the Vikings let’s go
I don’t think it can be overstated how important he is. Not just his talent and production, his work ethic, his relationship with his team, but he’s a top jersey seller and is going to be really important in terms of the NFL’s marketing to the German and European markets. This is a big get for the Lions future.
That’s less than the billion a year that he deserves.
Now let’s sign Sewell for eternity.
Another Brad Holmes masterclass
And will.look like a bargain once lamb and Jefferson sign probably
This is just Lions 4D chess to make other teams bid their plays even higher so they hit the cap easier and can’t afford to keep all the talent.
So it’s about a 3 year with 25 per year and then extend him again year 4 to push the cap back basically. Assuming he continues to be productive
I love homey, glad he’s here. This is now when it is time for Brad to cook, I’m calling WR in the first
Worth. With the way the cap is expanding faster than the universe this deal, like QB deals signed in 2017, will look quaint. Hell, it will look quaint when his peers sign soon
PRAISE THE SUN GOD!!!
It’s a 4 year extension on top of existing 1 year. So 24.67 average annual over 5 years.
Smart to do before Jefferson. Chase. Lamb.
Deserves every penny. LFG!!
Wow! Nice!
Worth it.
One of the original tweets that reported this said “Goff extension is also coming shortly” So I’m ready to buy both a st brown and Goff jersey.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
I think I can officially say the bobby lane curse is over. This is the first jersey I’ve purchase and the player stays on the team for longer than 1 season
Worth every single penny
Fuck yes. Secure the bag. Secure the ball. Secure our Championship.
#PRAISE THE SUN GOD ☀️
My king
Get paid young fella
YEEEAAAHHH BUDDY!
LET’S GO!!!! My favorite player of all time 💙💙💙
Time to buy that jersey
It’s hilarious to me that not only do we keep Sun God, we also fuck over the Vikings a bit in the process. Jefferson is going to be demanding 35 million a year with 100 million guaranteed.
Fuck yes lets go!!
Just wait: Every Lions receiver will have some anger list in their locker and hit the jugs machine after every practice for a couple of hours.
As crazy as this sounds, I feel like we got a great value. Nobody works harder than ARSB.
