Brian Branch contract projection: Lions may want to extend safety right after 2025 season

The Detroit Lions may have the best safety tandem in the NFL with Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch, who both enjoyed stellar 2024 seasons.

Joseph led the NFL with nine interceptions, while also accumulating 83 tackles and 12 pass breakups en route to being a First-Team All-Pro selection.

Branch, on the other hand, built on a strong rookie year with 109 tackles, eight tackles for loss, four interceptions, and 16 pass breakups en route to his first Pro Bowl appearance.

Both safeties are part of a slew of stellar draft picks by general manager Brad Holmes, being key components of a revamped Lions defense.
