"Less than 24 hours ahead of the season opener at Green Bay, Williams agreed to the new deal which will set him up for the future. However, although the Lions and Pro Bowl edge Aidan Hutchinson have had positive contract conversations, they are not expected to reach a deal for him before the season starts, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter."
"With the core group returning, Williams anticipates a "fun" 2025 season ahead for Detroit. He felt he made the biggest strides in becoming a more complete receiver this offseason. "As you come in, I felt like I was getting used in certain ways, but now, it's opening up the doors for coaches to use me in different ways," Williams said during Thursday's practice. "So it's a lot more ways I'm being used and I just locked in on everything."
Jameson Williams agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $83 million with the Detroit Lions less than 24 hours before the season opener at Green Bay. The 24-year-old entered the final year of his rookie contract after posting his first 1,000-yard receiving season in 2024. He is expected to expand his role alongside All-Pro receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown under new offensive coordinator John Morton. Detroit traded up 20 spots to select Williams 12th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. Williams broke out in 2024 with seven receiving touchdowns and 61 rushing yards, and he reports offseason progress toward becoming a more complete receiver.
