On Wednesday evening, news broke that Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph has agreed to a four-year, $86 million extension. The average per year of $21.5 million is now the highest in the NFL among all safeties. It’s fair to say that his teammates are pretty excited about it.
Across Twitter and Instagram, several of Joseph’s teammates—both past and present—celebrated the news.
Let’s start with the defensive back room. Joseph is close to the fellow members of the Lions secondary, even regularly hosting them all for “Thursday Night Football” during the season. So it’s no surprise they’re all thrilled for him.
