St. Brown is the highest-paid wide receiver in football...for the time being.
For the time being, the Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown is the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL. St. Brown signed a four-year, $120 million extension with Detroit on Wednesday, which matches the deal the Dolphins gave Tyreek Hill two years ago. Whereas Hill got $72.2 million guaranteed, St. Brown received $77 million guaranteed in his new deal, which will keep him with the Lions through the 2028 season.
St. Brown, 24, emerged last season as one of the best receivers in the league, earning first team All-Pro honors after posting a 119-1,515-10 line in the regular season. He then added another 274 yards in three playoff games for a Lions team that came just shy of reaching the Super Bowl. Across his first three regular seasons, St. Brown has a career 315-3,588-21 line. That's the eighth-most receiving yards through a player's first three seasons in NFL history.
It still feels likely that Jefferson's next contract will clear Nick Bosa's $34 million AAV and make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history. It also feels likely that it'll include at least $100 million in guarantees.
