Detroit Lions timely extension with Amon-Ra St. Brown makes team winners after Justin Jefferson extension.
On Monday, the All-Pro wideout agreed to a four-year, $140 million contract extension to remain with the Minnesota Vikings. He has quickly become one of the best wideouts in the NFL after being a first-round pick in 2020.are being viewed as winners following the extension thanks to a timely decision made by general manager Brad Holmes earlier in the offseason., on the eve of the NFL Draft. At the time, St. Brown's four-year, $120 million deal set the market for NFL receivers.
Other wide receivers who received notable extensions this offseason include Jaylen Waddle and Nico Collins. As the Lions were the trend-setters, they ultimately saved money by extending their talented wide receiver when they did. "The $26.374 million Waddle is due in ’28 will probably be a bargain by the time we get there," Breer wrote. "That said, the cash flow isn’t close to what Jefferson is getting. Nor is what St. Brown got in Detroit , Collins got in Houston , or what Smith or even A.J. Brown received in Philly. It’s fair to say that those negotiations would’ve been framed differently if the Jefferson deal was done.
