"Williams was a first-round pick out of Alabama in 2022, the Lions taking the speedster 12th overall. Injuries and suspensions have meant he has struggled to live up to that draft status, though he helped the Lions to the NFC Championship Game in 2023 and had the best season of his career so far in 2024. Indeed, Williams racked up 1,001 receiving yards and scored eight total touchdowns, averaging a gaudy 17.1 yards per reception."
"The Lions, per NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, have held positive discussions towards ensuring Hutchinson never has a chance to get to the open market. Those talks are said to have been professional and amicable, but have not delivered a resolution. Hutchinson had 21 sacks in his first two seasons and had 7.5 in his first five games of the 2024 season before suffering a fractured tibia and fibula."
The Detroit Lions signed wide receiver Jameson Williams to a three-year, $83 million extension after selecting him 12th overall in 2022. Williams overcame early injuries and suspensions to deliver a career-best 2024 with 1,001 receiving yards, eight total touchdowns and a 17.1 yards-per-reception average. The Lions are banking on continued improvement from Williams. Edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, the No. 2 pick in 2022, has not yet reached a new deal despite professional discussions; his rookie contract runs through 2027. Hutchinson posted 21 sacks in his first two seasons and 7.5 in his first five 2024 games before fracturing his tibia and fibula, and he is set to return in the 2025 opener while likely seeking top-tier pay comparable to Micah Parsons.
