\n

Aidan Hutchinson has agreed a four-year contract extension with the Detroit Lions which includes an NFL record for the highest guaranteed salary for a non-quarterback.<\/b><\/p>\n

The defensive end’s new contract is worth a total of $180m (\u00a3135.9m), with $141m (\u00a3106.5m) guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Micah Parsons remains the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback after being traded to the Green Bay Packers<\/a> in August, but his contract is worth less in guaranteed money. <\/p>\n

Hutchinson and Parsons are two of the NFL’s best pass rushers, with the Lions star having picked up from where he left off after missing most of last season with a severe leg injury.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old, who was in the last year of his rookie deal – having been drafted by Detroit with the second overall pick in 2022, has claimed six sacks from seven games this season.<\/p>\n

Hutchinson has registered 34.5 sacks in 46 games overall, helping them claim their first play-off win in 32 years<\/a> en route to the NFC Championship game at the end of the 2023 season, which they lost 34-31 to the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
