The Detroit Lions and star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown have agreed to a four-year, $120 million extension, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The contract includes $77 million guaranteed, the source said. That’s the most guaranteed money for a wide receiver in a single contract in NFL history, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
In a video posted to his Instagram Story from Ford Field, St. Brown, said, “I can’t wait. I’m here, four more years.”
St. Brown, 24, was selected as first-team All-Pro last season when he set career bests with 119 catches, 1,515 yards and 10 touchdown receptions.
He has been selected to the Pro Bowl each of the past two seasons. He also is one of only three players in NFL history to have 90 or more receptions in each of his first three seasons, joining Odell Beckham Jr. (2014-16) and Michael Thomas (2016-18), according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
The Lions selected St. Brown in the fourth round of the 2021 draft. He would have been an unrestricted free agent after this season without a new deal.
NFL Network first reported the news of Brown’s deal.
