Packers' Zach Tom payday is the perfect antidote to Lions' looming power move

The division-rival Detroit Lions will soon make a big swing, but the Green Bay Packers already have their answer.

Zach Tom has spent the past three seasons shutting down elite pass-rushers, earning him a lucrative four-year extension on the eve of training camp.

It's important to find Pro Bowl-level pass-protectors, especially when Aidan Hutchinson resides in your division. The Lions' All-Pro pass-rusher is arguably the league's best, and he is expected to receive a multi-year extension of his own in the not-too-distant future.

Injury limited Hutchinson to only five games last season, but that didn't stop him from posting ridiculous numbers.
