What happened: The rookie-scale agreement is valued at $155 million over five years. The contract includes no options as Detroit handles a major piece of its offseason business ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Why it matters: Detroit keeps a young core player off the path to restricted free agency with a long-term deal before camp. The agreement also lands in the same offseason as Amen Thompson's five-year, $208 million extension, giving the brothers $363 million in combined new contracts.
By the numbers: At $155 million over five seasons, the extension averages $31 million per year. Combined with Amen Thompson's $208 million deal, the twins have secured $363 million this offseason.
What to watch: The next marker is formal execution of the contract before training camp opens.
