"DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions signed defensive end Aidan Hutchinson to a four-year contract extension worth $180 million that includes $141 million guaranteed on Wednesday. Hutchinson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 draft, has been a star for the team from day one. He finished second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting (behind the Jets' Sauce Gardner) with a team-leading 9.5 sacks and followed that up with a Pro Bowl nod after an 11.5-sack season."
"Hutchinson, 25, became the first player in NFL history to register at least 15.0 sacks and four interceptions through his first two seasons and has yet to hit his prime. He was an early front-runner to win the Defensive Player of the Year award last season before suffering a gruesome fractured tibia and fibula injury in Week 6 at Dallas that sidelined him for the remainder of the season."
