Veteran OT of the Lions Accepts Huge Contract Extension
Fans of the Lions received two gifts this Christmas in addition to the news that the team signed All-Pro receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown to a new four-year contract on Wednesday.
All-Pro offensive lineman Penei Sewell and Detroit have reached an agreement on a new four-year, $112 million contract, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
Sewell, who is still only 23 years old, will be a crucial component of Detroit’s future.
Sewell is clearly highly appreciated on Dan Campbell’s team because he is currently the highest-paid offensive lineman in the league.
The former Oregon Duck has started all 50 of his games and has just missed one in the last three years.
Detroit hopes to seize the moment after making it to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since the 1950s.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, Penei Sewell, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, and tight end Sam LaPorta are Lions offensive players under 25 that are either All-Pro or Pro Bowl caliber.
Not to mention that David Montgomery, the other running back with 1,000 yards, is only 26 years old.
