Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Lions have agreed to a four-year contract extension, keeping the star receiver in Detroit through the 2028 season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports via Kevin Patra of NFL.com.  This per sources informed of the pact.

The extension is worth more than $120 million in new money and contains $77 million in total guarantees, per Rapoport.

Earning more than $30 million per year on the four-year extension makes St. Brown the highest-paid WR in terms of annual average. The $77 million in guarantees is the highest among all wide receivers, leapfrogging Cooper Kupp's $75 million.

The 2021 fourth-round pick vastly outplayed his rookie deal, which had the wideout scheduled to make $3.366 million in base salary in the final year of his contract.

St. Brown immediately became the Lions' No. 1 receiver as a rookie and raised his standing each subsequent season. In three campaigns, the USC product has earned two Pro Bowl nods, 2023 first-team All-Pro honors, and generated 3,588 total receiving yards and 21 touchdowns.
