It's a big day in Detroit Wednesday as, just hours after making Amon-Ra St. Brown the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, the Lions have signed offensive tackle Penei Sewell to his own four-year extension according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Schefter calls it the largest deal ever given to an offensive lineman.  Sewell’s deal is reportedly worth $112 million with $85 million guaranteed, though those numbers may be different when the full details are revealed. With an average annual value of $28 million, Sewell’s contract would set a new high-water mark for offensive tackles by $3 million.

Sewell was the first pick of General Manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell’s tenure with the team. Selected at No. 7 overall in 2021, Sewell has started 50 games for the club over his first three seasons. He has played every offensive snap for Detroit over the last two years. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in both seasons and was an AP first-team All-Pro in 2023.
