Lions head coach Dan Campbell says he's never had any doubt that defensive end Aidan Hutchinson should be a Lion for life.

The Lions and defensive end Aidan Hutchinson agreed to a four-year, $180 million extension on Wednesday, officially keeping Hutchinson in Detroit for the long-term. The deal makes Hutchinson the second-highest paid player on the Lions behind Jared Goff, and the second-highest paid non-quarterback, only trailing Micah Parsons.

With his contract finalized Wednesday -- the four-year extension is worth $180 million, with $141 million guaranteed -- Aidan Hutchinson said he's now "all-in" on a future in Detroit as the Lions eye an elusive Super Bowl ring.

Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson has signed a four-year, $180 million contract, but he says that's not what he's playing for.

Lions DC Kelvin Sheppard said his team's backup defensive backs played well enough against the Buccaneers they could push for more playing time.

Aidan Hutchinson is relieved contract negotiations are over, and he’s ready to build a future with the Detroit Lions.

New England received a 2026 sixth-round draft pick in return for the veteran safety. The Patriots also sent a seventh-round pick with Dugger to Pittsburgh. Dugger was a second-round pick by the Patriots in 2020 and had been a primary starter for the team since 2021.
