Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is eligible for a contract extension, and his asking price for a new deal may have just been revealed.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and The Insiders, the Denver Broncos are signing Pro Bowl wide receiver Courtland Sutton to a four-year extension worth $92 million.
“The Broncos have agreed to terms on a new contract extension for WR Courtland Sutton, sources tell The Insiders. It’s a 4-year, $92M deal,” Rapoport wrote on X.
“The deal done by Milk & Honey Sports locks Sutton in and properly compensates him at last.”
Sutton is set to make $23 million annually in his extension with Denver, which also seems like a fair value for Williams’ next contract with the Lions.
With Williams still under contract until 2027 due to the fifth-year option, Detroit will likely wait until next offseason to extend him. The 24-year-old posted his first 1,000-yard campaign in 2024 and established himself as an explosive deep threat in the Lions’ offense.
Heading into 2025, Williams is expected to take another step forward and post a productive season.
If he can build off a promising 2024 campaign, the Alabama product should be in line for a lucrative extension next offseason worth similarly or even more than what Sutton just got from the Broncos. Williams is also much younger than Sutton, which should increase the value of his deal.
