On the eve of their 2025 season opener, the Detroit Lions have secured a key piece of their offensive future: star wide receiver Jameson Williams has agreed to a three-year contract extension worth up to $83 million, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter via NFL Fantasy News on Bluesky.
The timing couldn’t be more critical—Williams is now officially under contract through 2028, following Detroit’s decision to exercise his fifth-year rookie option earlier this year.
Williams emerged as a breakout talent in the 2024 season, delivering 58 receptions for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns across 15 games. He’s also quickly overcome early-career challenges—including an ACL injury and two suspensions—on his path toward becoming a go-to threat in the Lions’ offense.
This extension is more than just a reward—it’s a strategic move. With offensive coordinator John Morton now implementing new schemes, Williams’ expanded role alongside All-Pro receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown could make Detroit’s passing attack one of the NFL’s most dynamic.
