Discussion: Should the Lions give Aidan Hutchinson a market-setting contract in 2025?

The defensive end market reset on Wednesday when the Las Vegas Raiders gave Maxx Crosby a three-year, $106.5 million extension. The new money on the deal set a record for average per year for a defensive player ($34.5 million). It’s a huge move that takes Crosby off the table for anyone hoping for a trade, and sets the bar for several edge defenders due for a new contract—including Myles Garrett, T.J. Watt, Micah Parsons, Trey Hendrickson, and.... Aidan Hutchinson.

The Detroit Lions undoubtedly want to give Hutchinson an extension at some point.
