Aidan Hutchinson got PAID, like, a lot of money. We're talking boatloads of cash to ensure he remains with the Detroit Lions for the long haul.
Detroit has officially put its chips on the table by signing Hutchinson to a contract extension that pays him $45 million annually through 2030. Not that they weren't already doing this, but it's time to build around him and do what's necessary to get over the hump.
Hutchinson's future is secured, and the Lions are in a crystal clear championship window. What better way to lean into the "all-in" approach they're taking than to parlay the star pass rusher's payday with a blockbuster trade?
