Jameson Williams signs a three-year extension worth as much as 83 million with the Detroit Lions, locking in a rising 24-year-old who reached 1,000 receiving yards last season. He is set to work in a bigger, more versatile role beside Amon-Ra St. Brown under new offensive coordinator John Morton, signaling a leap in the passing attack for 2025.

Detroit has prioritized its homegrown core, extending players like Sewell, Joseph, McNeill, Decker and Barnes, and Williams now joins that group. Williams’ breakout 2024 included seven TDs and a late-season flourish as a deep threat who can also contribute on gadget plays. The Lions head into a Week 1 date with Green Bay amid hopes of a deeper playoff run after last season’s divisional miss.
