NextImg:Lions give Jameson Williams $83 million extension just before season

The Lions now have locked up their potent top two receivers for the next several seasons.

With Amon-Ra St. Brown already signed through 2028, Detroit also has inked deep threat Jameson Williams to a three-year extension through 2029 worth up to $83 million, according to ESPN.

The 24-year-old Williams, the 12th overall pick out of Alabama in the 2022 NFL Draft, reached 1,000 receiving yards for the first time last season — finishing with 58 catches for 1,001 yards (17.3 average) and seven touchdowns in 15 games.

St. Brown totaled 1,263 yards on 115 catches as quarterback Jared Goff and the Lions posted the No.2-ranked offense in the league with 409.5 yards per game.

Detroit finished atop the NFC North last season with a 15-2 record before losing to Washington in the playoffs.

“As you come in, I felt like I was getting used in certain ways, but now, it’s opening up the doors for coaches to use me in different ways,” Williams said earlier this week. “So it’s a lot more ways I’m being used, and I just locked in on everything.”

The Lions were not expected to come to terms with Pro Bowl edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson on an extension before Sunday’s season opener on the road against the Packers, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
