The Lions have extended the contract of another young star.<\/p>\n
Via multiple reports, receiver Jameson Williams has received an extension. One report, from Jordan Schultz, calls it a three-year, $83 million deal<\/a>. Adam Schefter of ESPN.com says it\u2019s worth \u201cup to $83 million<\/a>.\u201d Which indicates a lower base amount, with incentives and\/or escalators that max out at $83 million.<\/p>\n As always, we\u2019ll wait for the official numbers.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear whether Williams is now under contract for four years or five. He was entering the fourth year of his first-round rookie deal. And while the Lions had yet to exercise his fifth-year option, we\u2019ve got a feeling that the three years will be added to two remaining years, putting him under contract for five years.<\/p>\n Williams suffered a torn ACL in his final college game, the national championship to cap the 2021 season. He appeared in six games as a rookie and 12 in 2023. Last year, he had 15 appearances with 11 starts. He finished with 58 catches for 1,001 yards and eight total touchdowns.
