The Detroit Lions are spending money to keep quarterback Jared Goff happy and full, signing wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown to a four-year, $120 million contract with $77 million guaranteed at signing. The guaranteed money surpasses the previous record of $75 million for a wide receiver which was held by Cooper Kupp.
As “slot receivers” and former mid-round picks, St. Brown and Kupp are both proving that many “number one receivers” are built different than they used to be.
A reported $77M guaranteed for #Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown represents the highest total guarantee for a WR in #NFL history (Cooper Kupp $75M).
