According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Detroit Lions have signed punter Jack Fox to a three-year extension worth $11.325 million with $7.5 million guaranteed. That average of $3.775 million a year just edges out Seattle punter Michael Dickson’s $3.675 million as the highest average amongst any NFL punter.
The Lions had been getting along paying Fox next to nothing since acquiring him in the middle of the 2019 season. In 2020, he was signed to a minimal futures contract, and in the following two years, he signed exclusive right free agent tenders, which were both under $1 million.
