Aidan Hutchinson will continue to be a pain for the Chicago Bears and the NFC North for years. His agent, Mike McCartney, tweeted that the star pass rusher agreed to a four-year extension with the Detroit Lions on Wednesday.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapaport, Hutchinson’s new deal is worth $180 million over four years, with $141 million guaranteed. The annual average comes in at $46.5 million, making Hutchinson the second-highest-paid pass rusher in the NFL, just behind Micah Parsons and ahead of T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett.

Aidan Hutchinson has been on an absolute tear since the Lions’ Week 1 loss to Green Bay. The third-year pass rusher has racked up five sacks in his last four games, including a two-sack performance against Cleveland in Week 4. That production would be impressive under any circumstances — but even more so considering he’s barely a year removed from the injury that ended his 2024 season early.
Hutchinson’s relentless play has fueled Detroit’s defense. He’s already forced three fumbles and is currently on pace for a monster season — 17 sacks and 10 forced fumbles — while helping a Lions unit that’s totaled 16 sacks overall. Simply put, Hutchinson looks like a player back to full strength — and then some.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 7, 2025Hutchinson becomes the latest pass rusher to get paid, joining Micah Parsons, who signed a four-year, $188 million extension in late August when the Dallas Cowboys traded him to the Green Bay Packers. T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett, and Maxx Crosby have also inked mega-extensions this year, as the pass rusher premium continues to balloon.
Looking at this extension—and the ever-increasing cost of premium pass rushers—it’s looking like Chicago’s need for an elite pass rusher is going to have to be solved via the NFL Draft. It’s still too early to predict where the Bears will land in the draft order when the dust is settled, but today, they’re projected to pick 17th in the first round, if you were curious.
