Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is signing a three-year, $83-million extension with $67 million guaranteed, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
The Lions traded up to select Williams 12th overall in the 2022 draft. The Alabama product’s career had a slow start, entering the league while recovering from a torn ACL suffered in college and playing in only six games as a rookie. The NFL then suspended Williams for four contests to start the 2023 season for violating its gambling policy.
However, Williams bounced back with a terrific 2024 campaign, racking up 58 catches for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns. He also averaged 17.3 yards per reception and had three contests in which he totaled 120-plus yards.
