Lions’ Aidan Hutchinson Not Worried About Contract Talks After Dominating Camp

On Thursday after a joint practice, Aidan Hutchinson said he's been 'pretty hands-off' about extension talks, noting, `The business side can take away from your love the game a little bit, and that's kind of the reality of the NFL.'
A few months ago Hutchinson suffered a broken tibia and fibula after Alim McNeill fell on his leg during the 47-9 game at AT&T Stadium, and doctors cleared him in May after a recent leg-whip in practice eased concerns.
The Lions have already exercised a $19,782,000 option on Aidan Hutchinson's 2026 contract, while T.J. Watt's $41 million annual deal resets the edge market benchmark.
Hutchinson said he's 'in a really good spot' and focused on momentum, though he's unsure if a new Detroit Lions deal will arrive before the season, while financially set to earn more than if signed shortly after eligibility.
Weeks ago GM Brad Holmes told 97.1 The Ticket that no intense contract talks with Aidan Hutchinson have occurred, but `We'll definitely get some dialogue going soon,' noting large deals take time.
