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.
The day after Hutchinson agreed to his new contract, Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard was asked if he thinks he needs to find more breathers for Hutchinson during games.
