According to a report from NFL Network, the Detroit Lions are giving wide receiver Kalif Raymond a two-year extension. Ian Rapoport doesn’t give specific details, but qualifies the contract as making Raymond one of the “highest-paid punt returners” in the league.
UPDATE: Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Raymond’s deal is a two-year, $14 million deal with $8.1 million guaranteed.
Last year, Raymond was named second-team All Pro after finishing second in the NFL with an average of 13.2 yards per punt return, including a game-shifting 47-yard punt return against the New York Jets.
