The details of linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin’s new contract extension with the Detroit Lions are starting to come out. It’s a record-setting deal for the veteran LB and special teams ace.
Per his agent, Brian McLaughlin, Reeves-Maybin signed a two-year contract extension with the Lions worth up to $8 million. The deal includes a $2.5 million signing bonus for Reeves-Maybin, an All-Pro on special teams in 2023.
Reeves-Maybin will earn $5.245 million fully guaranteed in the new deal, which locks him into Detroit through the 2025 season. He was slated to be a free agent later in March prior to the extension. The recent bump in the salary cap helped make the record deal work.
