All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph, fresh off a stellar season where he led the NFL with nine interceptions, has hinted at a potential contract extension with the Detroit Lions. At a recent Detroit Tigers game, Joseph expressed his desire to remain with the team, stating, "It's in progress. We're getting things going. I love Detroit, Detroit loves me." With his market value projected at around $23.2 million per year, Joseph could surpass the current highest-paid safety, Antoine Winfield Jr., making him a focal point for the Lions’ future.

As Joseph enters the final year of his rookie contract with a base salary of $3.6 million, discussions for a new deal appear imminent. The Lions could offer a lucrative multi-year extension, potentially reaching guarantees of up to $50 million, reflecting Joseph's significant impact on the field. However, despite his good fortune on the field, he couldn’t help the Tigers, who lost the game he attended.
