Aidan Hutchinson and Jameson Williams aren't going anywhere for at least two more years.

The Detroit Lions exercised the fifth-year options on the rookie contracts of Hutchinson and Williams on April 25, tying their 2022 first-round picks to the team through the 2026 season.

According to OverTheCap.com, Hutchinson's option will cost about $20.86 million, while Williams' will cost about $15.49 million. Both are fully guaranteed.

The Lions have built the nucleus of their Super Bowl-contending roster through the draft and were expected to pick up the options for Hutchinson and Williams as part of their plan to build around their young core.
