Aidan Hutchinson Contract, Salary, and Net Worth: How Much Is the Lions Superstar Earning?
Following a remarkable start to his career, the Detroit Lions made sure to keep Aidan Hutchinson there for the long run.
The Michigan product has been as good as advertised since he entered the league as the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and with the pass rusher market blowing up, they had to pay up to keep him locked for years to come. Hutchinson is a Defensive Player of the Year candidate again this season, and he’s justifying every penny he got.
Aidan Hutchinson’s Contract
Earlier in the season, the Lions gave Hutchinson a massive four-year contract extension worth $180 million. According to Spotrac, he received a $15 million signing bonus, $140.5 million in guaranteed salary, and is expected to earn an average of $45 million per season.
With this contract, Hutchinson will be tied to the organization through the 2030 season. He’s slated to become a free agent right before hitting his prime at just 30 years old, so he will most likely get another lucrative extension before that.
His base salary will be pretty manageable for the most part, though, as it will only go up to $29.5 million and $22.5 million, respectively, in the final two years of his contract.
Aidan Hutchinson’s Net Worth
While there’s no official information about his net worth, Bolavip US lists him at roughly $12 million.
Hutchinson has earned just over $50.7 million in playing salary alone in his first three seasons in the league.
He has endorsement deals with major brands such as Nike, Dr. Pepper, Cash App, Chipotle, Bose, Courtyard Hotels, and Traeger Grills, as well as his own product line, called ‘House of Hutch.’
The Lions Need More From Aidan Hutchinson
Dan Campbell and the Lions always knew how important Hutchinson was to their defense, but it became even more painfully evident when he suffered a season-ending injury last season.
This year, however, he has yet to take a leap and establish himself as the top-three pass rusher they hope he can be.
So far, he’s posted a PFSN Impact Metric of 85.7, which ranks 11th among eligible defensive ends.
He has 33 total tackles, 24 QB hits, nine tackles for loss, and 8.5 sacks in 680 defensive snaps played, and while those numbers would probably be career bests for most edge rushers, he’s already shown flashes of being capable of much more.
The Lions have made a massive financial commitment to him, and they need him to be their defensive anchor, not only for the future but also right now, to lead them to a deep postseason run.
