The Detroit Lions have made a significant move by signing safety Kerby Joseph to a four-year contract extension worth $86 million, which positions him as the highest-paid safety in the NFL at $21.5 million per year. This comes as Joseph, who is just 24, has proven himself as an All-Pro talent. The Lions' strategy appears focused on locking in young stars, with notables like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell already secured with long-term deals. This indicates Detroit's commitment to building a solid core for future success.
