Lions make Kerby Joseph highest-paid safety in NFL history with 4-year, $86 million extension
Kerby Joseph established himself as one of the NFL's top safeties last season. He is about to be paid like it. The Detroit Lions safety agreed to a four-year, $86 million contract extension, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, a deal that will make Joseph the highest-paid safety in NFL history. The previous high watermark was Tampa Bay Buccaneers standout Antoine Winfield Jr. with four years, $84.1 million. Joseph is coming off a 2024 season that saw him earn first-team All-Pro honors. The 24-year-old led the league in interceptions with nine, and also has an NFL-best 17 since entering the league in 2022. The Lions selected Joseph out of Illinois in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and he's been a key part of the team's rise ever since. Who else are the Lions going to pay big this offseason? As Rapoport notes, the Lions have said they are planning to ensure they keep star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson for a long time.

Breaking down Kerby Joseph's record-setting contract extension with the Lions
Breaking down Kerby Joseph's record-setting contract extension with the Lions Joseph's record-setting contract extension runs through the 2029 season and includes four void years. The details and structure of Lions safety Kerby Joseph's record-setting contract extension are now available. Thanks to Over The Cap, the finer points of Joseph's contract shed more light on just how much the All-Pro safety will get per season. The 4-year, $86 million deal kicks in for the 2026 season. His 2025 contract remains the same as it was, paying Joseph a base salary of $1.1 million and a signing bonus of $2.21 million counting against the cap. With workout bonuses, Joseph's cap figure for 2025 is $3.859 million. In 2026, the new deal kicks in. Joseph gets a base salary of $1.215 million and the annual signing bonus of $2.002 million begins amortizing. There is a per-game roster bonus of $510,000 and a workout bonus of $150,000. Both of those bonuses extend through the life of the contract, which ends following the 2029 season. The 2026 season contract looks like this for Joseph: $1.215 million base salary $2.002 million signing bonus $1.925 million option bonus $510,000 per game roster bonus $150,000 workout bonus $11.5 million is fully guaranteed on March 15th Salary cap hit of $5.802 million In 2027, the option bonus jumps to $5.241 million and the base salary escalates to $1.26 million. Joseph's cap hit rises to $9.163 million. The cap figure spikes up to $13.015 million in 2028 and $17.926 million in 2029. There are four void years tacked on at the end of the deal, a common Lions practice to spread out the bonus monies. Even though his contract is over in 2029, Joseph currently counts as a $39.1 million salary cap hit for the 2030 season. That will almost certainly get renegotiated or spread further from a later contract extension with Joseph, who is still just 25 years old.

Lions and All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph agree on a contract extension
The Detroit Lions and All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph have agreed on a contract extension, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday night. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced. According to multiple reports, the deal is for $86 million over four years, making Joseph the NFL's highest-paid safety. He led the league with nine interceptions last season, helping Detroit win a franchise-record 15 games and a second straight NFC North title. He had four interceptions in 2023, tied for seventh in the NFL, and four as a rookie. Detroit drafted the former Illinois star in the third round, No. 97 overall, in 2022. A day before last year's NFL draft, the Lions gave a pair of All-Pro players new contracts. The Lions and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown agreed to a four-year extension worth more than $120 million and offensive tackle Penei Sewell agreed to a four-year, $112 million deal. Detroit general manager Brad Holmes also hopes to sign edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson to an extension this offseason. The Lions are going into the draft on Thursday night with the No. 28 pick and while Holmes insists he will always take the best player available, the team has needs at edge rusher and guard. Homes filled some voids in free agency this offseason. Shortly after losing veteran cornerback Carlton Davis in free agency, the Lions signed D.J. Reed to a $48 million, three-year contract. Two days later, they added run-stuffing Roy Lopez to join McNeill and DJ Reader at defensive tackle.

Kerby Joseph signs historic $86M Lions extension to become NFL's highest-paid safety
Kerby Joseph is now the highest-paid safety in NFL history. The Lions star agreed to a four-year, $86 million contract extension, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday. Joseph was headed into the final year of his rookie contract in 2025 and would have made a base salary of $3.621 million. The 24-year-old will now be making an annual salary of $21.5 million. 3 Kerby Joseph of the Detroit Lions runs onto the field before an NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field on January 5, 2025. Getty Images The total value and yearly value both surpass the previous records for the position set by Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. last April when he inked a $84.1 million deal, which came in at $21.025 million per year. Joseph was a third-round pick out of Illinois in the 2022 NFL Draft and has developed into a massive part of the franchise's renaissance over the past few years, which included a 2024 NFC North title and a trip to the divisional round of the playoffs. He's recorded 247 tackles, 31 pass breakups and 17 interceptions over his three years in the NFL. Joseph had the best season of his short career last year when he had an NFL-best nine interceptions, 12 pass breakups and 83 tackles. 3 Kerby Joseph of the Detroit Lions returns an interception for a touchdown during an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on November 3, 2024.

The Lions have prioritized rewarding key players with new contracts, which included handing quarterback Jared Goff, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and offensive tackle Penei Sewell new deals last offseason. Joseph doesn't lack the confidence of a star player in the NFL, and he said that he 'for sure' is the best safety in the league during an appearance on 'The Jim Rome Show' earlier this offseason. 3 Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph (31) runs back an interception during the second half of an NFL football game against the New York Giants, on Nov. 20, 2022.
