BOMBSHELL! KERBY JOSEPH’S BIG PAYDAY! Contract Extension Details Revealed…
The Detroit Lions have compensated Kerby Joseph at an elite level following a 2024 season in which he cemented himself amongst the league’s best at the position.
Joseph’s new contract will pay him $86 million over four years, making him the highest paid safety in NFL history. This comes on the heels of a season in which he led the NFL with nine interceptions and earned First Team All-Pro honors as a result.
In 2025, Joseph will be in the final season of his rookie contract. With his new deal, he will remain under team control through the 2029 season. He is the first member of the Lions’ 2022 draft class to earn an extension, with Aidan Hutchinson and Jameson Williams being among the other candidates.
Detroit exercised the fifth-year options of Hutchinson and Williams last week, ensuring that they will be under team control through the 2026 season.
Here’s a breakdown of Joseph’s new extension courtesy of OverTheCap, which will take effect beginning with the 2026 season.
