Kerby Joseph: Detroit Makes Kerby Joseph Highest-Paid Safety In League History
The Detroit Lions have agreed with defensive back Kerby Joseph on a four-year, $86 million extension per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Joseph's new contract ties him to Detroit through the 2029 season, making him the highest-paid safety in NFL history. The Illinois product led his team and the league last year with nine interceptions and placed third on the Lions with 83 total tackles. He's missed just two games in his three years with the organization, notching at least 74 takedowns and four INTs in each campaign. The 24-year-old played 99% of the team's defensive snaps in 2024 and will again be a pivotal asset in Detroit's defensive backfield.
