The Lions have locked in All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph.
Joseph and the Lions agreed to a four-year contract extension today, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The contract reportedly makes Joseph the highest-paid safety in the NFL at $21.5 million per year.
Joseph was an All-Big Ten safety at Illinois whom the Lions selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft. He led the league in interceptions and was a first-team All-Pro last year, and the Lions decided to get him signed to an extension now, as he heads into the final year of his rookie contract.
