Overview
- Hutchinson’s agent confirmed the four-year, $180 million deal, which averages $45 million per season and ranks second among non‑QBs behind Micah Parsons.
- The $141 million in guarantees is the most ever for a non‑quarterback, with the extension set to start in 2027 and run through the 2030 season.
- After a 2024 leg fracture, Hutchinson has rebounded in 2025 with six sacks, four forced fumbles and a league‑leading pressure total through seven games for the 5‑2 Lions.
- Contract specifics reported by multiple outlets include a 2029 injury guarantee that converts to a full guarantee in March 2028, a detail that affects future flexibility.
- The deal continues Detroit’s run of locking up core players such as Jared Goff, Penei Sewell, Amon‑Ra St. Brown and others, increasing cap planning pressures over 2026–27.
